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".

there often is no path to legality, and she is the caregiver of her American-born children.

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.

[–] Quilotoa@lemmy.ca 36 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Tm12@lemmy.ca 10 points 8 hours ago

I’ve done this. Didn’t have cash for the toll.

[–] jonne@infosec.pub 10 points 9 hours ago

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.

[–] blakenong@lemmings.world 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

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.

Fuck the Confederacy

[–] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 17 points 9 hours ago (3 children)

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.

[–] blakenong@lemmings.world 20 points 9 hours ago

Wrong turn to Costco? believe it or not, El Salvador!

[–] PhatalFlaw@lemmy.world 8 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

Spitting on the ground is actually illegal in a TON of places.

[–] dzso@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

At what point did doing something illegal become grounds for sending someone to a death camp without a trial?

[–] peteyestee@feddit.org 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

People spit on the ground indoors where I work. It's weird.

[–] bassomitron@lemmy.world 12 points 8 hours ago

Where tf do you work?

[–] einlander@lemmy.world 0 points 8 hours ago

Waiting for the president to announce himself as an Elder Imam.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 12 points 10 hours ago

Shoulda kept going.

[–] AmidFuror@fedia.io 0 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] dzso@lemmy.world 8 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

What about a law that they can't kidnap you and deport you to a death camp without a trial?

I dont think we have, or rather, it is superceded by other rulings, probably since 9/11
