The United States is not safe for foreign nationals. Avoid all travel to the US if not necessary. If you are inside the United States plan a safe and immediate exit. Let others know your location at all times and do not travel without your documentation.

They want the unreviewable power to grab people and render them to a foreign gulag.
If the Supreme Court ultimately agrees with what the gov't is arguing today, that the President has broad Article II powers that would permit it to deport people & there can be no judicial review, then literally no one is safe.

Keep in mind that RFK receives millions of dollars from a law firm that sues over vaccines.
The CDC, under RFK Jr., will research the widely-debunked, nonexistent link between vaccines and autism.

People are fleeing Florida and Texas. As of Jan. 2025, those states collectively accounted for over 30% of ALL homes for sale in the US. Florida had 157,221 active listings—the highest in the country—followed by Texas with 102,552.
Repressive state governments and rising insurance are to blame.
