Summary

Asian American groups are preparing for potential deportations of undocumented Chinese nationals, particularly military-age men, under Trump’s proposed immigration policies.

Sources indicate Chinese nationals may be prioritized due to alleged national security concerns, reflecting broader anti-China sentiment.

Community organizations are creating multilingual resources, coordinating legal support, and educating families on their rights.

Trump’s rhetoric ties Chinese immigrants to fears of espionage, intensifying anxieties.

Advocates highlight the historical targeting of minority groups during national security crises and warn of significant impacts on vulnerable communities, urging solidarity and swift action.

That's a lot of Asian faces (39%) for these leopard to eat.

Wouldn't be surprised if they try to strip Asian American citizens, naturalized or natural born, of their citizenship either.

Jesus Christ, every thread about deportations has some moron talking about leopards.

Undocumented immigrants can't vote. I hate to take away whatever satisfaction you're getting from human suffering here, but it is categorically not "leopards eating faces".

Is that 39% the percentage of Asian Americans who voted for Trump? I bet most of those are rich enough that they don't have to worry. What percentage of your demographic voted Republican? Do you deserve to be punished for them?

The world isn't just and these people aren't getting what they deserve. Put this energy into volunteering for organizations trying to help people. We have to stick together to get through the next four years.

I don't appreciate my face getting eaten when I voted Harris. 😖

Yeah it does suck but unfortunately that's what Americans voted for.

I'm not exactly looking forward to more racism and more being the perpetual foreigner but c'est la vie, it's what idiot America voted for.

I've figured it out! This is all a program to save the endangered Amur leopard!

They're going to ship them back to Asia as leopard food!

IANAL, but for natural born the only realistic scenario with the current legal setup is accusing them of treason and finding them guilty.

Project 2025 includes doing away with naturalization, and I believe might even go as far as revoking citizenship from previously naturalized citizens (only when it suits them, of course).

[-] catloaf@lemm.ee 17 points 3 days ago

Key word being current. Remember that Republicans will control all three branches of government, including both houses of Congress.

Of course that assumes they follow the law at all.

[-] 100_kg_90_de_belin@feddit.it 3 points 2 days ago

Yes, they have two years before midterm and that's plenty of time

[-] TotalFat@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

Exactly.. Especially since one branch decided one of the other branches doesn't have to follow the law.

Isn't it against international law to make someone stateless?

(Granted, it's not like they'd care about legality)

[-] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago

That's the fun thing about international law- who's gonna enforce it?

[-] irreticent@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

That reminds me of the Hague Invasion Act:

The American Service-Members' Protection Act, known informally as The Hague Invasion Act, is a United States federal law described as "a bill to protect United States military personnel and other elected and appointed officials of the United States government against criminal prosecution by an international criminal court to which the United States is not party".

The Act gives the president power to use "all means necessary and appropriate to bring about the release of any U.S. or allied personnel being detained or imprisoned by, on behalf of, or at the request of the International Criminal Court".
