I’m telling my company that I am no longer willing to fly domestic for work anymore. I’m white but fairly politically active and I guarantee I’d end up on someone’s radar.
Depending on how willing you are to get unconstitutionally arrested, making it an issue may be beneficial to your financial outlook. But most citizens dont has the emotional, financial, or familial availability to do so, so you do you.
I am operating under the assumption that being grabbed by ICE means you are disappearing forever, no legal chances. Despite being a citizen no rules mean anything now.
I am also assuming thats the case, I am willing to do the legal fight if Im caught in the mess, but Im not going out of my way to be there. I dont have the same responsibilities most people would have
Disappearing forever is the worst case scenario and Id like to avoid it if I can, but also that really isnt the most common scenario and if ICE wants me there isnt much I can do to stop them. Theres the one guy thats been grabbed 3x by ICE and hes suing.
Hmmm… I do have legal services on retainer that I could utilize for this (it’s only $300/year which was less than the contract review would have been from a local lawyer). I have a number I can call if Im arrested and an attorney shows up.
Going off of this, are you able to call the retainer and give them a heads up? “I’m getting on a flight from here to there and it is at so and so time, I can update you etc. Then, if they have no contact after 24 hours, maybe they can help start an investigation, reach out to some local news orgs?
It might cost money for no reason, but is it an option?

My wife keeps wanting to travel abroad for vacation. I have a hard time saying no to her most of the time, but on this one I’ve stood firm.
I’m not stepping foot in an airport until the brownshirts are disbanded.

What legal fight? Again, the assumption is you disappear forever. There aren’t any “legal fights”.

Bold to assume you’d be allowed to call anyone.
