[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not exactly what you're talking about, but I think people should know.

The international community of DC is worried. We are World Bank, IMF, NIH, various foreigners with diplomatic or other types of work visas. I heard of two World Bank employees who had their diplomatic visas RESCINDED and were barred from returning to the US at the end of their trip abroad. One of them has kids at same public high school in MoCo my kids go to, which is how I know.

This was a retaliatory action on the part of the Trump administration because the country in question displeased him last week by trying to push back on return flights of illegal immigrants. The World Bank employees had nothing to do with the push back but were in the wrong place at the wrong time. They are trying to get back to their families.

We are all deeply concerned, after having worked for years in this country, hand in hand with the US government and welcomed by previous administrations, that our roots laid here by our families will be all for naught. We have kids in local schools, own local property, have made our lives here. Word is circulating that no one should leave US soil, for fear of not being allowed back, but work trips have to continue.

All due respect, this is the bed you made. 
If you are on a business/work/diplomatic visa, it carries an inherent risk. This is how it works in most countries.[/quote]

An inherent risk of political retaliation? I’ve never heard of long term visas being cancelled in other modern democracies. [/quote]
