Curfew restrictions: Is it legal to leave your house?

Come on, please don't talk nonsense.

Once this storm blows over—and it will—they’ll be right here...

When exactly do you think this mandate is actually going to kick in?
Are we looking at the whole month of April, maybe stretching into May?

Bryan Taylor6 said:Besides, those people haven't just been migrating for two days—it's been happening for weeks.

Weeks? Are you kidding me? The earthquake happened literally a week ago...

You specifically wrote that the shutdown order came a day too late, right after everyone had already moved...

The decision actually dropped on Monday...

So now that I'm calling out your nonsense, suddenly we're talking about "weeks"...

And honestly, where is this idea that roughly 80k people have real estate scattered all over the US? If you're averaging families of three or four, that would mean there are 80k separate properties across the entire country. It doesn't add up.

You tripped over your own logic here—my bad, but it’s true.

The migrants aren't even anywhere near the borders anymore—the borders are basically "dead"...

In Canada and Mexico, the police basically have you on a permanent leash—nobody can even move without them breathing down their neck.

I mean, let’s be real—it’s probably not like they don't care either...

I honestly think they’ll scrap this first one because it’s completely useless. It’s just putting an unnecessary strain on the police and the FEMA emergency response teams... if I had to guess, it'll be gone by the end of April at the latest.

I think I heard Capak mention June on the local news tonight.

Well, until the next election, I guess. They gotta stick to that promise about letting us work from home—and maybe throw in an $8,000 bonus if we give them another term!

You heard them right!

"Nobody can pinpoint an exact date, really. We're just crossing our fingers that these positive trends hold steady and that this heatwave helps slow down the spread. Our best guess is that things could look a whole lot brighter by early June, which might finally let us start easing up on some of these restrictions"

Oh, come on, it'll probably last until New Year's Day.😉

Who's down to sign a petition for a strict five-year quarantine? Maybe throw in seven years of good behavior just to be safe.🎉 🎉

It looks like things are moving in the right direction for now, until people eventually push back. Once they do, I bet we'll see those infection and death numbers spike suddenly just to justify keeping everything under control.

Man, you couldn't be more wrong if you tried.
There are more of them than ever, and they're coming in with masks, gloves... honestly, they're geared up almost as much as our own FBI.
But our guys? They're actually out there dealing with the mess. 👍.

There is zero chance in hell anyone is separating me from my family and my partner for two months.
We need to take this straight to Joe Biden ☕

A buddy of mine who runs a shift at a border crossing says there aren't any cars or migrants in sight...

And this is at a checkpoint where, not too long ago, specialized units had to work alongside their colleagues from Canada just to keep people from crossing.

He tells me things have never been this quiet in years, and it's all thanks to that perfect storm of closing down the smaller stations plus the curfew...

Yeah, obviously, because everyone just starts hitting the unofficial routes instead; it's common sense that the numbers would spike elsewhere.
🤦

Great 👍, though I bet he's talking about a different checkpoint entirely, because I know for a fact they had to jump in and intervene over here (just asking a guy who actually knows what's going on)

Right, because clearly, Border Patrol agents only sit in their little booths at the checkpoint and completely ignore the rest of the entire border line...

Totally logical, isn't it?

Weren't you supposed to be in the Scouts or something? Why all this nonsense?😉

Here’s what I’m thinking—things should start hitting the fan this week for regular folks, especially couples torn apart by this morbid decision.

I’m sending an email to the Department of Justice tomorrow morning. Naturally, I’ll be citing the U.S. Constitution and all those international treaties we signed that guarantee nobody can just restrict your freedom of movement.

There are thousands of couples in America being screwed over right now.

Is this really okay with them? Just dropping an "indefinite" ruling like that and making people suffer?

The government needs to let these couples move freely. And look, I’m not saying this as some "softie" who can't function without a girlfriend or partner.

I can handle it, sure—but it’s just not mentally healthy to have the government telling you that you can't see your significant other.

They need to fix this law immediately and allow travel from point A to point B.

The real question is when someone is going to snap—and I might be the first one to hop in my car and end up in a holding cell because I refuse to run from the cops.

I'm seriously considering doing the same thing. We need to write to the President's office too, since he's already fired up about this whole mess anyway. 🙂
