Agents at the airports can check their phones for anti Trump etc. support and good chance they'll not be allowed in.
Big Brother is watching.
This kind of stuff will destroy the US tourist economy.
I live here, but I would not recommend anyone visit the US the way things have turned. You'd probably be fine, but you just never know, which I guess is their whole point. Scare people into staying away or leaving, with the fear of being randomly targeted for disappearance based on a tatoo or a meme in your phone, just like they tried to do when they stole kids from asylum seeking parents in 2018.
The US have been checking social media accounts for years. This is not a Trump thing. Someone i know got a notification on Linkedin- "department of homeland security have viewed your profile". This was before an entry visa was approved. This was in the Biden years, not Trump.
Bit of clutching of pearls here from some people. If you don't tweet "death to America" all the live long day you've nothing to worry about.
Sorry, didn't see this before now.
I disagree. As I said, you'll probably be fine, but the issue is the complete unpredictability of the targeting they're doing, the fact that CBP officers are looking through people's phones at immigration, the "mistakes" they're making when arresting and disappearing innocent people ( and then abandoning them), and the fact that they're pushing the notion that US citizens could be put through their ringer. Just this morning Bondi is claiming that ICE officers can now bust into your house without a warrant if they "suspect" someone is in there. This is full on authoritarianism.
Then we have this. Yes there was insurrection on January 6th alright, mainly orchestrated by Polisi, sc**bag Schumer, Capitol Police and the FBI together with on the ground infiltration by both the FBI and Antifa dressed as Trump supporters. Last Friday the DOJ reached a 30M settlement with the family of an unarmed Ashli Babbitt who was murdered by Capitol Police Officer Michael Byrd.
One of the crimes of the century, up there with 911 and the Scamdemic yet Wokies are against deporting criminal gang members from the US and for imprisoning innocent J6ers.
