    It’s not that hard to do. If you miss the sign, you’re heading to Canada. Also, she asked to be directed to the nearest Costco, and the nearest Costco happened to be in Canada.

      I guess we’re at a point where the safest thing to do in this situation would be to just abandon your car and walk away. It’s better to sacrifice your car and inconvenience traffic than to risk your life interacting with ICE.

      I mean, I know other drivers would be pissed, but so be it. In the (hopefully) unlikely event anyone here finds themselves in this situation, don’t buy into the sunk cost fallacy - just cut your losses and keep yourself safe.
