Tech professionals on how they’re coping with Trump’s rapidly shifting immigration changesI hold a green card but my family back in India is worried that if I travel to meet them, I might face difficulty reentering the U.S. My family is even worried about anything I post on my social media.

Another green card holder was tortured. And customs is
searching phones for comments critical of the leader.
