Even smaller tech companies should now copy big tech and make sure they have established a location in a favorable country to relocate green card or H1B holders as needed.

  As an aside, holy smoke the comments on that article are terrifying. So much hate, pointed in every direction.

    > pointed in every direction. Well, it all seemed pretty pointed at Muslims to me, but a quick poke around that site suggests there's a lot of anti-DEI and anti-China type shit as well. Fucking weird.

How is ICE monitoring social media? Are these students posting publicly using their real names, or are social media companies providing the identity of users ? If so, Is this being done under subpoena, or are they just handing over data?

What in the grisly fuck is going on in that comments section? > Thats the way to deal with iron fist for terrorist sympathizer. 99 percent of those non muslims dont even k now the facts that Muslim world and other empires in hostory have persecuted and oppressed Jews. Muslims have their encraochment agenda as usual. Give back hostages and Dont get bombed. Simple. [107 thumbs up, 8 down.] ___ > ... India should follow similar strict rules for jihadists from Bangladesh and also offer free one way tickets to Gaza to other sharia lovers! [153 thumbs up, 11 down]. ... Please tell me this is just bots or something.

  This might be shocking, but Western Enlightened Liberalism isn't exactly a universal philosophy...

    Are you asserting that only liberals aren't raging Islamophobes? Wild.

Why would a recipient of such an email, assuming it even makes it by their spam filters, assume it to be real? In particular, wording like this just seems like spammer nonsense: "must depart the U.S. immediately... there is no grace period ...We advise you to depart the US as soon as possible" Whether or not this is one real--it certainly looks fake to me--I predict an imminent flood of "self deport" flavored spams.
