Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

Summary

A report indicates that roughly 150,000 Korean nationals in the U.S. are subject to deportations ordered by Donald Trump, among 14 million migrants overall.

Among those, 20,000 Korean adoptees remain without citizenship, intensifying community fears and concern over harsh immigration policies amid escalating anti-immigrant rhetoric.

Kim Dong-suk, head of the grassroots group, described Trump’s return as a disaster for Koreans, urging collective action among U.S. leaders and migrant groups.

There's a really fucked up issue in Korean adoption that was fixed a while back. Basically, once a parent finished the process and had custody of the child in the US, the parent needed to do an additional bit of paperwork to give the child US citizenship.

They closed the loophole a long time ago, but many(20 fucking thousand potentially) adult adoptees don't even know their parents didn't bother to finish the process.

Now the Korean international adoption processes is mostly closed, cause it was an exploitive nightmare that was more like selling babies than anything.

And yeah the other are just people overstaying a visa, or stayed past the point of needing a visa. 90 days.
