It seems like the administration is trying to discourage travel across the border. Not just people on work visas, tourists and even citizens are reporting being detained. It's like East Germany or something.

Citizens too? I've not heard of that. Scary

Yeah, I read it yesterday I think. US citizen lives in Las Vegas and her German boyfriend comes to visit. They travel to Mexico and then were both detained on the way back in. She was released within days, he spent weeks even after volunteering to just go back to Germany. Fucking nuts.

Thats fucked, I'm gonna look for that story. I've been seeing lots of stuff (even locally in a relatively progressive state) about trans folks' documents being confiscated and/or destroyed when they try to leave or get a new or updated passport or sometimes other docs iirc. Please don't come here, to anyone thinking about it. Period. Unless you're planning to stay a while and help us out, I don't recommend it but we will be needing all the help we can get :(
