With #NSDI25 coming up in two weeks (Apr 28-30) in Philadelphia, do we have a sense for how the mess at the US border is going to impact international attendees? I'm certainly worried for folks who will be traveling to the conference from overseas and I'm wondering what impact both challenges getting visas as well as fears over getting detained/deported will have on attendance.

(I won't be there, but I've gone previously and am talking with some of my local colleagues about attending.)

@nygren I think for the foreseeable future you're likely to see communities bifurcate into "US" and "non-US". Many scholars will be legitimately concerned about the risks of crossing the border, and that risk currently seems to apply equally to all noncitizens regardless of whether they are visiting or leaving the US to attend.
