The Trump administration is now seeking to deport Columbia University student Mohsen Mahdawi, who is being held in a prison in northwest Vermont. He was detained by Homeland Security agents when he went to an immigration services center to take a civics test that is the final step in the process of becoming a naturalized citizen. Mahdawi moved to Vermont from the West Bank in 2014 and has been a legal permanent resident, or green card holder, since 2015. All three members of Vermont’s congressional delegation are calling for Mahdawi’s release, including Congressmember Becca Balint. “This should terrify every single person living in this country, regardless of your citizenship status,” says Balint. “This is Trump creating his own army of brownshirts right here in our country.”

Not thinking of a move to #Canada unless Conservatives are trounced in the next election - it's not enough that Liberals or a coalition wins, there has to be a huge gap between winners and the Conservatives. Even if the "good guys" (neoliberals not that different from Democrats here, which isn't a compliment) win, I'd be moving to a country that has been steadily moving right at nearly the same pace as the #USA, with similar xenophobia and racism.
Not a fun thought.
