In 2025, 40% of American women aged 15 to 44 say they would move abroad permanently if they had the opportunity.
The current figure is four times higher than the 10% who shared this desire in 2014, when it was generally in line with other age and gender groups.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.
