[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're foreigners and our children have dual citizenship. My oldest will be studying abroad next year. I don't think he's at risk. He's multiethnic and looks... really he looks like he could hail from multiple regions of the world.

My husband and I are not going anywhere. We're waiting for green cards and sitting tight right now.[/quote]

PP you replied to. I am actually paying a lot of attention, and suspect there are multiple people on this thread who are either fearmongers or MAGAs with their head in the sand. The educated, wealthy, international community in DC is concerned about detentions and deportations. We're NIH, World Bank, IMF sort of people. Hardly anyone with a green card, diplomatic visa or visa is leaving the US for leisure - just for work. One of my friends with a green card, married to a US citizen, went to Paris for Spring Break, and returned without mishap, but she was on full alert, has never had a social media presence and no red flags. Others non-citizens in our circle choose not to risk it.

We've heard of friends of friends having their diplomatic visas revoked.

But here we're talking about US citizens. The risk to US citizens is still very low, especially if they have no pro-Palestinian ties. I will not refuse my dual citizen son this golden opportunity to study abroad at a prestigious institution in one of his home countries. He's not on social media and has nothing to do hide on any of his devices.

Now this is my opinion on May 16th, 2025. Keep in mind the situation is very fluid and we should all stay on alert, and potentially change course.
