Tensions flared at the Barkovia-Meowtopia border this week as Ruff Rider—a high-profile activist and street poet—was forcibly deported under the controversial new "Fur First" policy.

Authorities claim the dog’s papers had expired after his third stay in Meowtopia. But supporters argue his detention was political. Ruff Rider had been vocal against the rise of feline elitism and often barked out spoken-word protest poems on social media.

Captured mid-growl during a dawn raid, Ruff Rider was surrounded by uniformed Meowtopian police and whisked back across the border, his fur still damp from an interrupted nap.

His final bark before removal? “You can deport the dog, but you can’t leash the truth.”

Immigration watchcats have since raised concerns about the surge in cross-species deportations as border enforcement tightens and nationalistic pawlicies rise.
