It’s not just Trump. It’s going to take a major effort to purge public agencies of MAGA loyalists who gleefully enforce his stupid directives.
I’m thinking of a specific case recently of a bonded truck carrying supplies to Campobello Island, a part of Canada where the only land access is through Maine.
A bonded shipment is sealed at the sending end and not to be opened until it arrives at the destination. It basically should be treated as a Canada-to-Canada shipment and shouldn’t be interfered with at all by US customs except to confirm the seal is intact. This is according to existing longstanding agreements between the two countries. The same would apply to a bonded shipment from the US passing through Canada to Point Roberts, a US territory only accessible by land through Canada.
Instead of letting it through, US Customs would not allow the truck to transit and turned it around at the border because the shipment contained booze, in direct violation of the existing agreement.
