Sounds like they’ve blocked about 170 people who they claim didn’t have the proper authorizations. Wonder how many remain.

Have people tried to fly drones across the border? Small payload, but probably way more effective. Can drop medicine. I know this is more symbolic, but getting aid to people should be the priority.

Is the border so secure that you couldn’t get within a mile or two?

Because this is a legal action of denying entry into their country, not a kidnapping in international waters with an illegal blockade.
