Trump’s war on trans people has left Americans seeking asylum — from America
www.independent.co.uk
Four trans Americans claiming refuge abroad tell Io Dodds why they no longer feel safe in their home country, from fears of martial law to being arrested in changing rooms

So we’ve reached the minorities-flee-the-country stage.

That was fast. It’s getting Nazier by the minute in this motherfucker…

    But what if you go to an EU country, then go to the US embassy, and renounce US Citizenship? Can you then try asylum? I mean they can’t deport you back to the US if you have no citizenship, right?

    🤔

      No. It doesnt work that way. Firstly to renounce US citizenship costs money (several thousand) and takes an onerous amount of paperwork including proof of tax returns. Then it takes the appropriate bureaucracies months to process the paperwork

      Edit I forgot the secondly.

      Secondly the US under current laws wont allow you to renounce until you prove you have a second citizenship
