[06:54]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], They nab people at their meetings with USCIS or ICE or when CBP encounters them.
[06:54]	IsambardPrince	Cheaper and easier that way.
[06:55]	IsambardPrince	If I had a green card and any record whatsoever, I'd sit tight, try to put off any encounters with USCIS, and any international travel, until the next president.
[06:58]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], Ideally, the next time we had a Democratic president and Congress they'd go through the federal laws and repeal a lot of them that Trump is using now, but they won't.
[06:58]	IsambardPrince	They never do anything to take power from a President, so the next time the White House flipped they'd be back to what Trump is doing now.
[06:59]	IsambardPrince	The biggest problem here isn't that Trump is breaking the laws, it's that the laws we have can be construed to let him do nearly anything.
● Apr 12
[07:01]	IsambardPrince	Really that's the result of laws being allowed to pile up for hundreds of years.
[07:01]	IsambardPrince	If nothing else, there's this one from 100 years ago that says he can do that, you know. Always something like that.
[07:04]	IsambardPrince	Normally, they go after US citizenship first in denaturalization, then they target the green card.
[07:05]	IsambardPrince	But you know, in this push to get rid of antisemitism, they could very well target the green card at the same time and just take it away.
[07:05]	IsambardPrince	When you're denaturalized, what that means is they're saying you were never a US citizen in the first place, because it should never have been granted.
[07:06]	IsambardPrince	Normally they then also have to try to take the green card away.
[07:06]	IsambardPrince	But there's no reason the Secretary of State can't say it's not in the national interest for you to have a green card. Then as soon as you lose the denaturalization case, they can put you in ICE detention because you won't have a green card either.
