It's not even a boycott at this point, who in their right mind would cross the border and risk getting detained by an unshackled border control and ice.
Yup. Boycott is only part of it. The other part is that it's not safe. ICE is out of control and has already sent Canadians to jail for zero reason.
I'm planning a 15 hr drive next month that I'd normally do thru the US as it shaves a few hours off. But not this time. You literally couldn't pay me to cross that border - I can't risk getting shipped off to some concentration camp in El Salvidore because ICE doesn't like my hybrid car, or whatever.
I think many of us are shocked that the US has an army of ICE and CBP agents that were this ready to go full Gestapo. That suggests some alarming underlying issues.
As someone who travelled to the ZS for work (under different Visas(.... Not really shocked. The shit some CBP officers pulled during immigration at the airport. "What do you mean, you are here to work, don't we have Americans to do the job?", " Why do we invited Europeans to America to speak at an American conference?", "You're here because a Swiss company bought an American company? This can't be right."
And this was mostly in California. During Obama. I can only imagine how these interaction would go now, when those notjubs feel encouraged by their leader and on the right side of history.
