I found out that one of the guy's friends at judo has to leave the country. The kid and his family has actually had a good time here and wanted to stay in the US, which I'm actually a little bit surprised by. This year, the state department is not renewing his dad's visa, so they're going back to Korea.
The guy is sad, and I am too. They're really nice people, the kind we need more of here.
Another family at the judo club was planning to leave anyway to return to Israel, but not until later. I don't know exactly what their situation is, but they went on a trip to Canada and found that their visas are no longer good when they tried to come back to the US. So, I guess they're leaving early.
This is nowhere near as bad as the violent ICE abductions, but it is also making this country a worse place. And I guess that's the administration's point — to make the US into the kind of unwelcoming place no one wants to go to.
