Read the news, it's already happening. One video I saw showed a woman (a PhD student in a legal visa) being surrounded by plainclothes officers with neck gaiters over their faces and they took her away in an unmarked car. Her family hired a lawyer who still hasn't contacted her though they claim she's in a specific facility in Mississippi. Her crime? Speaking out against Israel. If the first amendment is dead, hopefully the second can save us.

It is a disgrace to the honor of America.
Both training programmes were surprisingly similar, even two years apart.
No notes were allowed. No slides.
Even the call for attendance was verbal and in person.
This is a US corporation problem, not the US government’s.
If the word of America is not honored that is exactly the disgrace I'm talking about. A nation's word - the treaties they sign, the contracts or agreements they make with people of other countries - has to be honored. Like the conditions of visas.
An administration can change future agreements or renegotiate within the frameworks it agreed to, but it should honor existing agreements. That is one of the many ways a government is not like a corporation.
Bad faith agreements warrant no continuity or protection, but people should still always be treated humanely when the rules change.
The argument is that reentry, even if you are legal right now, might be denied for reasons which wouldn’t have gotten you even a sideways look six months ago. Which surely you don’t disagree?
