she knew that international travellers were being locked up in immigration detention centres in the US. “I was aware,” she nods. “But I never thought it would have any impact on my holiday.”

    Every week, ICE agents would visit the unit to update inmates about any developments on their cases, and tell them when they were going to leave the detention centre. “Their stock answer was ‘two weeks’ or ‘soon’.” One week, ICE didn’t turn up at all.

    They had the concepts of developments on their cases.

    If you come here stay to blue states, otherwise the risk is too great.

    For now my EU UK friends, stay away.

      The blue states aren’t safe either.

      Most of the people ICE murdered were in a state so blue it didn’t vote for Reagan.

      The problem is that if you’re traveling here you’re likely to be grabbed at customs as you’re either entering or leaving the country so whether your final destination is a blue or red state is kind of irrelevant. While the current regime is in power it’s safest for everyone to just avoid traveling to the US.

        I’ve got more guns than you I know that as fact and more bullets than anything else you’ve ever eaten.

          They will disarm you before they execute you on the street, like they did to Pretti.

          You need comrades, not just guns.

          Did you see that video demonstration of the drone strike from the 1990s? Your guns are as effective as taking your shoes off before you board a plane makes everyone safer. Good thing they didn’t have guns at ruby ridge or waco texas… you’re the guy who spends 5 years of time prepping to extend his life an extra 6 months eating canned food and being bored because spotify doesn’t work and you cant get the joe rogan podcast. You better wake up from fantasy dreamland son.

      According to Wikipedia, Minnesota’s current senators are both Democrat, and Minneapolis’ mayor is Democrat-aligned. So yeah, not even the blue states.
