    I can’t think of a better job for ICE.

    1. the racist fucks already think of brown people as simians so they won’t notice
    2. the monkeys have no resident status
    3. they need to be stored in horribly small cages until they are shipped ‘home’ or - oops - die.

    This task has ‘ICE gestapo’ written all over it.

        That’s good. We should get some of those Hokkaido snow monkeys and drop them off in Idaho though. Is this ecologically a good idea? Absolutely not. But it would make the place more interesting

        No, Mexico has jungle at the bottom, and some would describe everything north of the Darien gap as North America. It’s just not uncommon to treat Central America as something different

            Yeah it’s totally a common thing to not know. Especially us USians tend to think of Mexico as the northern deserts and central plateaus because that’s what’s close to us and where their capital is.

    You know what, this is the least stupid thing to happen in the US in years. Obviously they’ve escaped from some private collection and someone is keeping quiet about it hoping that they don’t get in trouble.
