Summary

Former Labor Secretary Robert Reich urged a global boycott of U.S. travel to protest Trump’s policies, warning his administration is “brutally attacking U.S. democracy.”

In a Guardian op-ed, Reich called on foreign visitors, students, and skilled workers to reconsider coming, citing economic and safety concerns. He argued withholding tourism revenue could pressure Trump.

His plea follows Trump’s anti-immigration crackdown and rising tensions with Canada.

Reich’s call comes as Canadian travel to the U.S. has already shown signs of decline.

    Considering European tourists keep getting detained there should be a travel ban in place until this administration is gone. If nothing changes within the next 3 months travel here could become a death sentence. The Alien enemies act allows him to send people to EL Salvador without due process. You’ve seen those videos and pictures. It will be on your country to get you out. Our courts are struggling to even get people back despite the fact that we are not at war so he cannot legally (lmao imagine a felon actually following the law) do that.

    Don’t risk your life to come here, and if there’s a problem with your immigration status self deport. This country is going to be destroyed at this point.
