Comment on As a US citizen who was born in the UK, how risky is it to leave and reenter the US right now?

Don’t risk it. Also, try to make some contingency plans in the event they do kick you out.
The post was a person with a work visa not a citizen. This is not to say that the US is the safest place to be. My US citizen cousin very recently came to live in the US and they were born and living in a different country for most of their life.
I would probably not come in during Trump’s rule when there are other countries but you do you.

All bets are off, regardless of citizenship. But it’s PARTICULARLY risky if you check any of the following boxes while also not being a natural-born citizen:
There are real and concrete reasons that so many countries have started issuing travel warnings for the US to their own citizens in the last few months.

You’re ignoring the fact that these “single incidents” are essentially the administration testing what they can get away with. And there’s a lot more than just this one, if you bother to look.

…no, I’m not. They’re very serious, and should be taken as such. But that doesn’t make them an accurate risk assessment in it of an individual incident, you need to look at numbers, for a real risk assessment
