Following GPS to the nearest Costco led a Guatemalan woman and her two U.S. born children to the International bridge where they were detained for a week and now face deportation.

    From what the article says, it seems like that should read, “Being in the country illegally has Detroit woman facing deportation”.

    This is the second story I’ve heard about someone making a wrong turn on a bridge from the U. S. to Canada and being kidnapped by ICE.

      It’s not that hard to do. If you miss the sign, you’re heading to Canada. Also, she asked to be directed to the nearest Costco, and the nearest Costco happened to be in Canada.

      I could imagine ICE intentionally covering up signs to induce more mistakes like this.

        People give trump too much credit. There’s basically a living mutant organism made up of millions of evil people fucking America/humanity, but people just blame trump and think things are going to go away when he’s gone.

          Of course those people existed before, and were just as evil as they are now. But before Trump they didn’t get to act on their evil traits. With him on top, and more and more like minded in top positions, they can finally act with impunity. They don’t need to fear consequences anymore. And that is absolutely related to Trump. So fuck Trump.

          As long as extremist right wing exists this type of evil gets normalized because being a piece of shit is a right of passage.

          Every country has that mutant organism. It’s a global fucking problem, but yeah, let’s laugh at other people’s misfortune. Guess what organism you are part of….

              You laugh at the misfortune of the west because you think they deserve it. While you might have a point, it isn’t the entire population that should be punished.

    This is getting comical. I’m waiting for the American citizen that gets deported for spitting on the ground. He wouldn’t even be a law breaker, but the orange idiot would just stare blankly and say they’re nothing they can do.

    There should be a rule by which if you are in a country without documentation and then you leave the country and try to return, they can’t bust you for undocumented entry if you only left due to a goof.
