Nearly 13 million people in the U.S. hold green cards.
Tens of thousands more are here temporarily as foreign students and professors.
All are now in danger of being arrested by the Trump regime if they exercise their First Amendment rights.

In a Silicon Valley-style purge, Elon Musk declared that all federal employees must send a weekly email detailing their accomplishments—or be considered resigned. Will Congressional Republicans act before irreversible damage is done? Unlikely.
