Next: Anybody I don't like is an illegal immigrant.

Which step of the Nazi plan was debanking the Jews?

Ah, so they're working on new ways to ruin the lives of anyone who protests ICE.

Sounds like something that would trigger a run on the banks.

Are they going to freeze Walmart's accounts if they find a single illegal immigrant working there? or just the immigrant bank account with peanuts they use to send some money to family back in wherever?

Remember in The Handmaid's Tale when all women suddenly lost access to bank accounts?

Bit of a click-baity headline (though not your fault OP).

The sub-heading is clearer:

President Donald Trump has signed an executive order directing the Treasury Department to shut down bank accounts used to support illegal immigration.

So, he couldn’t get his $1.8b slush fund, so he’s creatively forming a pretext to financially kneecap his enemies and likely siphon off a ton of money while doing it.

Lol! Weren't they all screaming about Canada being a fascist dictatorship for being able to do this, not too long ago? I wonder if they'll see the irony, or at least recognize the parallels here.

I might start putting my cash into something that store its value and can be readily traded like I dunno cigarettes, firearms, salt.

So is money free speech or not?

(Yes, I know, the real answer is it depends on whose money and how much of it is in the unmarked envelope)

Stealing people's entire savings and closing their bank accounts is how people get radicalized and when you have nothing to lose, you have no limits.

This will backfire for sure.

Dang, Trump is speed running the end of American Empire. Avast, ye swabs, the US dollar is about to go belly up.

I've been saying for years that the next big thing will be a bank run.

Hasn't been one in a while. Under utilized panic option. They'll make it happen soon enough.

Melania at the ATM tomorrow: Why my card no work?

Trump admin seems to have about 1 scam per week, so this must be the pump and dump for cypto scam for this week.

So the bank accounts of nearly every farmer in the USA?

Wouldn't someone they're attempting to denaturalize be a valid target of that description?

So Western Union and Cash App etc will need to be shut down?

Always wanted a reason to get a fake identity. Just never really motivated to do the work. Until now.

Or. I could Open a Canadian bank account. Could do that instead.

Mmmmmm I love living at the beginning of The Handmaid’s Tale.

Let’s pull some money out to buy some gold and silver just to be safe than sorry

So. All they have to do is say that they suspect you of a crime, then they get to seize your bank account. It doesn't even have to matter whether they think it's true or not, as long as they say that they think it's true.

Wouldn't be surprised if he accuses members of congress and governors to be supporting immigration, such as Ilhan Omar. Thus, stripping them of wealth and trying to force his enemies to go with whatever he wants.

Okay... let's go ahead and assume that, for the sake of worst case scenario planning, there is a real risk of this being used against people who have protested ICE, donated to bail funds for anti-ICE protestors, donated to immigrant solidarity funds, etc., as well as against their loved ones.

What is the best move for Americans in this scenario to protect themselves? Are foreign bank accounts a safe option? If so, what would the best move be? If not, what other good moves are there?

So I currently owe the bank $70 can he shut down my account

Should he shut down world liberty financial? Pretty sure they use crypto.
