Nope, sorry; as someone who spent extensive time fighting Remain in Mexico in Trump's first term, the reality is that the cartels maintain very high levels of control in Nuevo Laredo and Matamoros and would often kidnap people within minutes/hours of their expulsion from the US under the program.

HORRIFIC: the Trump admin is reportedly planning to dump hundreds of parents and children arrested in the interior (including Minneapolis) into extraordinarily dangerous Mexican border towns, and make them run a gauntlet of kidnappers if they want kangaroo court hearings.
Scoop: Trump admin plans to remove ~400 individuals, including children and families, to Mexico in first known restart of controversial “Remain in Mexico” policy during Trump’s 2nd term, sources tell me and Jake Traylor @ms.now
They’re set to be removed as early as Tuesday from TX and AZ to Mexico

The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.

The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

If you're wondering how to dress for cold weather - while there is more specific advice out there - the US military spent a stupid amount of money to discover the answer is layers.
If you can swing a windproof shell that's also good.
So are hand and foot warmers.

Emily Heller, an eyewitness, is speaking out to set the record straight. Officers were screaming at Renee Nicole Good, “Move, move, move.”
So she moved, and they shot her multiple times? Then Noem and Trump branded her a domestic terrorist. Does everyone see how absolutely insane that sounds?

If you have a 3D printer and need an outlet, this is something you can do right now. We are shipping whistles as fast as we can and we can't keep up with how many they need!
We’re trying to ship as many whistles as possible from Chicago to Minneapolis. If you can help (3D printing or sharing any you have stockpiled), please message emidly.08 on Signal
Trump is sending another surge of ICE agents to Minneapolis - making our city the "new Chicago."
We’ve already seen masked agents commit crimes, arrest bystanders, and use excessive force.
This makes all of us less safe. Enough is enough.

“As it turns out, children are dying and in some cases in Louisiana from measles and pertussis and as a doc who saw people die from hepatitis A and hepatitis B of course I understand the importance of those vaccines. I don't want any child dying from something that's so preventable,” Cassidy said.
Some Louisiana doctors push back on CDC’s new vaccine guidance for kids
Sen. Bill Cassidy and a Tulane pediatrician stress the safety and necessity of vaccines for children.
