Last week 2 major Canadian holidays usually results in 2 to 3 hour wait to cross into US.
This year all 5 lanes open
No line, no cars.

Seeing a lot of horses being used against protesters right now. Like with bikes and cars in 2020, you need to be ready to protect yourselves. Police horses are *highly* trained, you are not likely to spook them. However, there are ways to protect yourself and the people around you. (Thread)

What violence, Senator? LADP officers shooting reporters with rubber bullets? Sheriffโ€™s deputies indiscriminately tossing flashbacks over fences into peopleโ€™s yards?

You want an end to the violence? So do I. Once ICE stops indiscriminately kidnapping people, everyone will go home.

People trying to protect their neighbors are not the problem. The fact that some of you are thinking that way reflects a level of psychological capture & submission to fascism that you should interrogate. If they want an "excuse" to do something, they'll create one. The good guys aren't the problem.

The military isnโ€™t being employed to carry out an immigration policy.

The immigration policy, and especially the way the administration is choosing to carry it out, is an excuse to call out the military.

Afghanistan
โ€ข The Taliban, a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT) group, controls Afghanistan. Afghanistan lacks a competent or cooperative central authority for issuing passports or civil documents and it does not have appropriate screening and vetting measures. According to the Fiscal Year 2023 Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Entry/Exit Overstay Report ("Overstay Report"), Afghanistan had a business/tourist (B1/B2) visa overstay rate of 9.70 percent and a student (F), vocational (M), and exchange visitor (J) visa overstay rate of 29.30 percent.
Burma
โ€ข According to the Overstay Report, Burma had a B1/B2 visa overstay rate of 27.07 percent and an F, M, and J visa overstay rate of 42.17 percent. Additionally, Burma has historically not cooperated with the United States to accept back their removable nationals.
Chad
