Graphic artist Rebecca Burke was on the trip of a lifetime. But as she tried to leave the US she was stopped, interrogated and branded an illegal alien by ICE. Now back home, she tells others thinking of going to Trump’s America: don’t do it
There were other tourists, too. Bana, from Romania, was on holiday in Canada and visited Peace Arch park, on the international boundary between the US and Canada. She told Becky she had been taking selfies with her husband when a US border official told her they had strayed into American territory without the right visa and took her into custody.
So they’re bringing people into the country to arrest them. Genius. Those detention centers must be rolling in cash right now and DOGE is ignoring it.
Well I hope Canada has beefed up their security at the park to prevent this from ever happing again. Otherwise ICE just might start riding into Canada collecting people to keep their numbers up.
Doubtful but I’d take my chances. Even if I was shot, as long as I fell over the border, Canada would take me into it’s wondrous public health care and discharge me with no bill and a cheery ‘sorry bout that eh’

Isn’t peace arch park not supposed to be excluded from immigration?
Couldn’t you just run back over the border?

If you don’t mind being shot for trying to escape.

That’s what I was thinking. Would depend where you are, but just leg it
