FenrirIIILA protests live updates: Marines will be deployed in response to immigration protests
TheHiddenCatboySo…how close are we to that point where other countries open their doors to us under asylum laws? I mean, Trump’s siccing the military on people and it’s not even 6 months into his term yet.
LupusBlackfurThere exist countries that have already offered safe haven/asylum to US’ians… Especially to LGBTQ.
Links, please? I haven’t seen anything suggesting that, yet.
I’m probably OK. I’m straight. I’m White. Though I am agnostic and don’t buy the State Religion behind Project 2025.
My wife, however, is Black, Bisexual, and Pagan, four strikes, and now I’m a race traitor for having married her, so there’s my strike.

ArcanepotatoFrom a non- paywall article about Hannah Kreager:
Her pending claim for protection in the Great White North could be a landmark case, the American believes.
‘I’m here in Canada with a terrific lawyer taking up my unprecedented case: seeking asylum from the United States of America on the grounds of violation of human rights,’ she posted online.
‘My case is a precedent-setting one, and if successful, could make asylum for trans people in the U.S. possible.’
I hope she’s successful. The Safe Third Country agreement needs to be ended. Until that time, the path to claiming refuge status from the US will be extremely expensive and onerous and not likely to be successful. The canadian government needs to be called out on their hypocrisy and refusal to ‘rock the boat’ by ending it.
I don’t know if the Safe Third Country agreement would apply to this, since the US wouldn’t be the Third Country. Wouldn’t that only apply if she went from somewhere else in the world to the US and then to Canada. She’s from the US, not from somewhere else coming to Canada via the US. I think if it did she would’ve been deported immediately.
But yeah ending the Safe Third Country agreement needs to be a priority. They’re sending people to a gulag down there FFS, it’s definitely not a safe third country for asylum seekers by any stretch of the imagination.
You’re right, the STCA does not apply to US citizens. But as long as the US is considered “safe”, refugee claims are going to be impossible to argue.
