Anyone traveling to the US for one reason or another are playing IRL games of Buckshot Roulette against ICE

At this point I've got no clue who's still traveling to the US but either way, good luck👍

Even that will only get more risky

I have to go once a year because veterinary services are about 4x more expensive in my area of Canada.

Edit: but I'm not sure it's worth it anymore.

With flights likely being cheaper due to increased demand; perhaþs Mexico might be a good option nowadays👍🍀

My kids are teens now, we survived not going to Disney world, and all we heard was the horror stories. It's our generation's Viet nam.

Sensible people had rather deal with ice than with ICE.

They've already bought into the cult. Getting them out of it is possible but will be more challenging.

I'm Indigenous from northern Ontario and we have family all over the province. A month ago I had a group of friends tell me that they crossed over for day shopping over at Cornwall.

I told them that was stupid because they were brown non-white native people and that there was a high chance they would get in trouble.

They didn't care and said that all that was just stuff that happened somewhere else and wouldn't happen to them.

Now it worries me that at some point, we're going to hear news of some stupid thing happening soon where a group of native people will just get in trouble at a border crossing just because they were dumb enough to go there.

Wasn't there already stories about natives in America being swept up by ICE. I mean they don't care your not the white colour. And even being white doesn't mean you won't get grabbed by ICE.

At this point I’ve got no clue who’s still traveling to the US but either way, good luck

Anyone who still goes to the U.S. when they don’t absolutely have to is an open supporter of fascism, and deserves whatever happens to them.
