As the Trump administarion intensifies its crackdown on immigration, lawyers are advising non-citizen content creators to avoid politically sensitive topics on social media to reduce the risk of detention or deportation, a new report by The Miami Herald reveals.
"Every chance I get to tell them to scrub their socials—even for likes and reposts of innocuous content like JD Vance or anti-war memes—I do," said immigration lawyer Genie Doi, who represents several influencers, to the outlet. She and other attorneys are warning that even seemingly apolitical content could draw unwanted scrutiny.
