The link in the last post was a good one! > [@](#): > > Calls have emerged for Korea to scrutinize the status of Americans working in the country, with one commenter writing, “Round up all the Americans teaching English here on tourist visas.” That would not work because the Americans teaching English in South Korea are overwhelmingly anti-Trump. Also, to match Trump, it wouldn’t do to just email the Americans teachers, politely asking them to exit South Korea in the next week or two. You would have to arrest and shackle them. Also, I googled to find out what jail food is like in South Korea and found this: [A couple of my Korean friends went to jail for a few months several years ago, and when they got out, one of them told me prison food was great, and he had never eaten so well in his whole life.](https://www.reddit.com/r/korea/comments/823043/what_is_prison_food_like_in_south_korea/) I doubt the South Korean authorities are cruel enough to get to the point where Trump would have sympathy for a bunch of recent American college graduates looking for a constructive international experience. ---

> [@ThelmaLou](#): > > I wonder if the Canadian border people would have refused her entry if they had known what the American officials were going to do to her? On that note: A transperson, Angel Jenkel, came from the US to Canada to visit their boyfriend, now fiancé, on a six months visitor visa. Then the boyfriend got sick and they became primary care-giver, and they also became afraid of returning to the US after Trump began imposing his anti-trans regime. So they overstayed their visa. Canadian immigration officials eventually came across the situation and after a hearing, ordered that Jenkel be deported to the US. They applied for judicial review in the Federal Court. Federal Court judge allowed the application and sent it back for a re-hearing by the immigration officials. This point in the CBC article seems highly pertinent: > [@](#): > > Jenkel was scheduled to be deported from Canada this month. But a Federal Court judge issued a stay of removal, arguing **the immigration officer who examined their case failed to take into account** their role in caring for their fiancé, or **the “current conditions for LGBTQ, non-binary and transgender persons” in the U.S.** > … > Jenkel was ordered to be deported on July 3 after an initial risk assessment determined they didn’t face a credible threat in the U.S. > > But Justice Julie Blackhawk halted that deportation, pending review. In her ruling, **she wrote Jenkel’s risk assessment was “flawed and unreasonable.”** > > **That’s because the immigration officer conducting the review used outdated information — a government dossier on the United States that was last updated in January 2024, says Jenkel’s lawyer.** > > **“It’s a marked recognition that the conditions have deteriorated … since the Biden administration has left office,”** Sarah Mikhail, of Smith Immigration Law in Toronto, told _As It Happens_ host Nil Kӧksal. > > “These changes are significant enough that, when assessing trans and non-binary individuals’ circumstances in Canada, this is something that needs to be taken into consideration.” So Jenkel is still in Canada, for now.

I have a good friend who moved to South Korea many years ago to teach English. He’s now married to a Korean woman and is himself fluent in the language. In any hypothetical scenario as you describe, he would be very low on the deportation priority list. But based on what he says about the culture and the political situation, it seems highly unlikely they’d proceed like that, even for the recent arrivals whose removal would be easier. It’s not exactly unthinkable, but he just doesn’t see them reacting that way. I’ll ping him again to see if he’s willing to go more in depth as to the reasons.
