Hey Canadians:
I just heard about two Canadian friends of a friend who were driving into the US
the border agents demanded they unlock their phones; the agents searched the phones, found anti-Trump stuff on one ...
... then confiscated that phone and neither person was allowed into the US
These folks weren't activists or anything -- the search doesn't appear to have been triggered by that
so, govern yourselves accordingly
It's awkward when such triggering stories don't come with names or any other specifics.
yep I hear ya
but I'm not including those specifics at my friend's request, to prevent the friends from being further targeted
How about "which state"?
CBC today has a story of two musician sisters being harassed at length by Ohio police, and the Ohio police calling the complaint 'hate mongering'.

I'm just wondering if we can start mapping which US States have serving MAGA cops actively promoting their politics.
stop badgering him for information, asshole.
I understand the frustration at the vagueness of my original post!
i wish I could share more details myself

any news reports on this? These things need to be reported even if only to help document these abuses
