Or maybe if you’re an immigrant in the US, especially if you’re have money/assets, sell up and get the fuck out of dodge, while you can. You don’t have to worry about leaving if you ain’t going back. That could change.

Don’t stay in a place which would persecute you, given a chance. That’s what the Jews in Germany did, trusting in a kind of common decency that MAGA already proved they don’t have. Hopefully the US won’t get that bad but I would have already left.

This is very pertinent warning for those still unaware.

My friend was warned not to leave with a green card by his immigration lawyer last time the felon was potus. We’ve already seen how different things are this time, I wouldn’t even jay walk or speed if your immigration status is anything other than a citizen* (asterisks because already depending on your zip your mileage may already vary due to factors such as your race, health, age or gender).

I would argue that domestic flights are potentially to be avoided too, I wouldn’t put it past ICE to post up at major airports or flagging all residents/non-citizens identification. If anyone is unaware, they’ve already detained and tortured to the point of hospitalization a white (I hate I have to put this), gay permanent US resident from the EU (Germany. He literally recently renewed his green card, so any excuse about a 10+ year old marijuana related misdemeanor is bullshit at best. Sources about the German guy: NBC article Newsweek article

I would also point anyone still reading that hasn’t seen it already to this post/article: Lemmy World post/link It lists 7 verified cases of Visa and Greencard holders being detained and/or deported.

Or this Independent article about a green card holder who was deported without her meds or identification over a marijuana charge.

Ive got a friend and a coworker that have been told the same by their immigration lawyers
