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.
As much as I despise the policy of mass deportation (collective punishment is morally repugnant), at least this has a plausible reason behind it instead of “they’re eating our pets”.
Yeah, like the Japanese internment camps during WWII. Totally plausible. A shining moment in our national history, widely recognized by all as a terrific decision.

That is in no way a positive or even worth mentioning.
