Are we to believe ICE looks at, and understands paperwork?

Who could have possibly have seen this coming from an administration who literally said this was coming?

Yeah don’t go down there. It’s unspoken but the place is in a state of civil unrest and the roving gangs are basically government funded. It’s like a banana republic.

They’re upset the rules are being enforced?

This is good.
An actually-honest article about the extraordinarily grim, lawless, and cruel state of US immigration enforcement right now… and how Canadians, if caught up in it, are as imperiled as anyone from anywhere else.

I’m a Canadian working in NYC and yes, it really is that bad down here. Don’t come. I’m leaving once my work contract is complete.

If you are not a US citizen, you effectively have no rights, and can be snatched, disappeared, held indefinitely, or renditioned to a random 3rd county with no real recourse.
Lots of Canadians cross back and forth with no issue, but a little bad luck, and you could easily end up joining one of the 400 or so fellow Canadians grabbed and held in an ICE “cooler”, shivering on a hard floor under a tinfoil blanket, subsisting on barely edible food. Even if the risk is low, it isn’t one I would take.

Who is still going to the USA? Stop going

No Canadian ought to be travelling to the failed experiment to the south after the annexation threats and tariffs.

Why anyone would be dumb enough to stay there is beyond me

They have literally detained American citizens, green card holders, etc. Why is anybody surprised by this?

So its the find out part of FAFO with people going there for spring break? awesome!

Honestly when is Canada going to pull the trigger and put a travel advisory on the US? We had 2 Canadian pilots die today in a totally preventable collision. We have Canadians put in ICE concentration camps. We have been threatened to be annexed.
The US government especially the Trump administration is a full fledged terrorist group

All bets are off. ICE is being _completely_ arbitrary.

Not that we needed another reason not to travel there! But here we go!

Because ICE agents can’t read or know what flags are for what. You’d have had to pass grade school to do either

Don’t they employ fact checkers in the media anymore?
> Freedom of speech is a constitutional right granted to U.S. citizens only.
This is false.
>Additionally, resident aliens are no longer quite as free to move about the country, as new laws will require them to sign in online to a program that allows government to track and manage their presence when they relocate, he said.
This is misleading. Permanent Residents / resident aliens are required to update their address with USCIS. You aren’t asking for permission, you are just giving them your current address.
Canada also doesn’t know where all those Indian students went, so maybe we should consider some tracking mechanism?
This isn’t an endorsement of Trump’s policies, but when you can’t even accurately quote US policies it makes me wonder how accurate the examples are they are quoting.

People who “thought their paperwork was good.”
*Was* their paperwork good?
I don’t understand the headline. Either their paperwork was correct, or not. What people think about their paperwork is irrelevant. Am I supposed to read that as:
* “Reports are mounting of ICE detaining expats who thought their paperwork was good, but wasn’t.”
or
* “Reports are mounting of ICE detaining expats with correct paperwork.”
Because those are wildly different.

One of the cashiers at my work had to relocate to the states due to their dad getting a job/contract down there; I worry about them sometimes.

Its not that I wouldn’t travel to the US.
I wouldnt even fly over the US. Or anywhere that’s under US jurisdiction.
No way would I risk being in a position where a diversion could mean stepping into the US or being under US ATC control.

Gotta keep reminding Canadians to be scared of the USA. Redditors eat this shit up, they looooove it, anything to give them the opportunity to announce how virtuous they are for not visiting the USA.
