Yeah this is the first time I’ve heard of someone being taken while trying to leave the country. Very Kafkaesque.
Lends credibility to the rumour that trump demands a certain nimber of arrests per day per person
The Nazis would detain Jews trying to leave the country.
Not just Jews. Non-whites, Gypsies, gays, communists... you name it.

This will start happening on all levels. Also with academics for example to prevent the brain drain.
That seems to be an easy one to bypass: Exit the USA by driving (or walking I suppose through a border checkpoint) over the border to Canada or Mexico. There's no ICE check on roads leaving the USA. There will be border agents from the other country you're entering you will interact with on the other side, but those aren't USA Border agents.
ICE and CBP have been deploying temporary exit checkpoints in Washington State.
I believe you but do you have a link on that? I googled and didn't find anything.

Well fuck me.
One of the reasons my wife and I moved from Florida to Oregon last year was easier faster access to Canada if shit hits the fan.
Mind you. This was a discussion we started in 2023, sold at the start of 2024, and moved to Oregon shortly after. 2 years later and shit most definitely has hit the fan.
Perfect link, thats exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
I wonder if Point Roberts is ... even more checkpoint fucked than usual...

I had never heard of Point Roberts until this week, and now this is the SECOND reference I've seen to it. The first was the Rubber Duck Museum moving from Point Roberts, USA just a bit north to Canada. source
I'll look for it. I saw the article here on Lemmy.
Another user found a great article that had the info I needed. That was in this post.

Another article about the US tightening exit.
Hispanic people are being sold to CECOT. It is unequivocal human trafficking and no one is stopping it.
