It is seriously terrifying. At least a court has forbidden ICE from deporting him without a court order, though whether the regime will pay any attention to the courts is another matter. And there does seem to be some significant resistance building at least, but God it is bloody terrifying.
As you know, I've been contemplating a trip to the US this year, but I'm seriously wondering if it's too dangerous. I'm a US citizen, but going through an airport or other border is somewhere they can do all sorts of shit to you even if you are a citizen, and for all we know they might be rounding up citizens by then. I am not high profile, but my pro-Palestinian activities are not concealable, I've been on Al Jazeera spouting my views. Plus the deportation from Israel. I mean for now it still seems unlikely that I'd have serious problems, but unlikely is not impossible.
But don't worry, Canada is still on the agenda! Unless Trump has invaded already.
