Very troubling phone call from daughter [View all]
She is a DC attorney with a big white-shoe law firm. She is a life-long, active, committed Democrat who has worked as a legal observer at elections, riots, demonstrations and the like.
Renee Nicole Good was a volunteer legal observer.
Now that ICE has been declared by Trump, Miller, and Noem to be a law unto itself, she is (1) worried about when she will be shot while working as a legal observer; (2) in tears about the future of this country; and (3) losing sleep over the world her two nieces (her brother's daughters) will inherit.
She has determined what is needed to become a long-term, legal resident of England, Ireland, or Scotland along with Canada, Switzerland (her great-grandparents), and Germany (where she was born). She also has a lead on a couple of jobs in Great Britain as well as leads on homes for sale there.
I told her that what little bit of an estate my wife and I have will be split between her and her brother with some going to the granddaughters and she can have her share anytime she wants to leave. In fact, I will buy from her her Capitol Hill residence so she pockets that profit.
Ms. Average Old Guy and I have renewed our passports and been in contact with the Swiss embassy(my grandparents).
My community in Northern Virginia has a BIG minority population -- Hispanic, Muslim, and Asian. We have seen almost no ICE activity, an occasional arrest is all. However, we (whom I will not define) have been meeting quietly -- what can we legally do in the face of ICE or NG; how to do it; establishing contact with local community leaders and faith leaders. If they show up here WE WILL NOT COMPLY.
