I was waiting for this—evidence of CBP overreach at a US/Canada *land* border.
Well, here it is: a *US CITIZEN* detained in Vermont, handcuffed, and confined to a cell across from his wife.
They could have been transferred to an ICE facility.
Cross in airport pre-clearance if you can.

You're acting like Trump.
What about that doesn't sound like Trump to you?
I don't like how he voted either. But I also don't want to torture him. This is not a difficult position to take.
Anyway, you might want to read the post I replied to, since the guy was *genuinely saying he should be in a prison in El Salvador.*
He's quoted elsewhere as saying "I really thought things would change after this administration, when we have Mr. Trump in office, things would change to the better."
People make no sense to me sometimes.

when I fled US abuses to Canada & the RCMP & SIS started showing up everywhere I stupidly used a credit card.
There are no “routine” secondary inspections.

I only had one bad crossing between ON/NY and it was by some guy who was a complete asshole on the NY side. There's always one.
You would reach more people, when you add a good description into the Alt-text field.
That is pretty easy, especially, when your image just contain text.
This way, you support visually impaired people and everyone else, who rely on a good filled Alt-text.

That's nearly x7 times more than you have in a regular post.
Only post Alt-text in the alt-text field, never post it in regular messages (comments) under the image.
Then they're useless.
If we all get in the habit of adding useful alt text our posts get more useful to ourselves and each other.
I just muted you, it's getting annoying.
Have a good day.
The actual U.S. Constitution doesn’t even hint at such a thing.
