    Yeah, this is pretty much it. There’s a TON of students who already left, probably closed out everything on this side of the border for them as well - apartment leases, class enrollments, etc. They aren’t coming back just because ICE said “we promise it won’t happen again”, and now all the dumb idiots who weren’t paying attention can now point at a soundbite and say “well ICE reversed those because they did them wrong/weren’t supposed to, so it’s fine”. Combine this with the woman who was literally black-bagged off her college campus in full daylight and full view of surveillance cameras by ICE, and I sure as hell wouldn’t wanna come back just because the government pinky-swears it won’t happen again.
