Note: I am a US Citizen, so this isn’t advice for me.

But hypothetically, if I met someone who is a refugee currently in the US, who would probably be jailed or executed if deported to their home country, what are some advice I could give as to their digital OPSEC?

Should they completely ditch using phones, but at the cost of not having constant communications tool to potentially receive notification I.C.E. activities?

What are your advice?

(Just want to gather the knowledge so one day I might be able to help someone)

    Flawless opsec is a lot, but at least for now, it’s not how they are finding people.

    It’s tips and borders at the moment. If it becomes police action as well you just have to make sure you’re not noticed by the police.

    We’re probably not all that far off of papers please.

      yeah, this. paying attention to good OPSEC is predicated on the idea that you pass as a “native” (which by some crazy logic nazi logic is white hetero dude) and that slipping in that regard is your only threat vector.

      if you’re obviously outside of that minority, any number of LE-adjacent thugs can make up any pretense to fuck with your shit. or not even bother with pretenses, as things stand right now.
