ICE said the Canadian was found unresponsive Monday at the Federal Detention Center in Miami and was attended to by medical staff, but was pronounced dead the same day.

wonder how next snowbird migration is going to play out
It’s already not good this year. My dad owns a condo in Florida and said a lot of the Canadians sold their condos in his complex. They just didn’t want to deal with the extra immigration paperwork this administration added.
Well, that and the gulags
But especially the paperwork in the gulags.
This comment pisses me off so much.
Are you serious? Paperwork? That’s what your dad thinks Canadians are concerned about?
They have a second condo in Florida they’re well off and mostly-white
They have that “won’t happen to me” attitude.
Hmm, they sound nice.
Probably since I’m assuming most of them are white.
Old white people basically never think they’re going to be the target for government discrimination.
Yes, because that’s what they have said they are concerned about. Why doubt what they say?

I’m sorry, but it’s really this kind of willful ignorance that keeps me boycotting the US. You think maybe it’s the shit for brains president not only starting a worldwide trade war including its allies and even threatening to annex us? Or the fact that half of you support the rapist? Or the fact that we have to risk being sent to El Salvadore for whatever arbitrary ewason?
Please, think a little for God’s sake. Do we really need to spell everything out???
I believe that many people think that. I also believe those are the reasons I would avoid the US. But, these people said they didn’t want to deal with the hassle and I have no reason to doubt them. If they were afraid of being deported, they could have said that. These people are perfectly capable of speaking for themselves, I don’t need to put words in their mouth.
My parents used to go down to Arizona. They sold their trailer back in 2018 (so just before Covid which was very lucky). They’ve done the odd trip down to the US (they sold because they wanted to go to different places) but plan to go out to Vancouver Island and other places more often now.
Family friends with a house in Palm Desert sold their place after Trump joked about Canada being the 51st state and plan to never go back down again. At least for as long as he is president.
