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?

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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?

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

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.

...what?

I'd pull everything from the banks, and demand cash for payment from work

Oh, I see with this all the citizens and companies withdrawing all their money from the banks, leaving them without cash. After this money exchange $1 = 1Rupee

Sooo. Let's fuck the system and all move money to Credit Unions, or better yet, cash.

You know, it's funny how they say, if you get these consequences like getting your bank account closed, it means YOU were a bad person and you deserved that, but, what happens when the people in charge are the bad ones? You lose your hard earned money because bad people dont like that you're a good person? Banks can't be trusted, no one can really, we're all just following a system that works because everyone agrees to follow it, what happens if we don't? People decide, you know what? I dont think this virtual money that was printed out of thin air actually has any value beyond being a colourful green piece of paper. Alas, that won't happen, a man can dream. Would be stupid to deny that this system has made everything so much faster and easier to work with, won't talk about the risks of it though.

Would a crypto like monero for complete anonimity and not being able to be frozen or DAI for a less anonymous but also freeze safe option be a good option to save my money in? I know cash is king, but, I'm speaking from a simple "what are my options?" pov.

We should run the banks. Relieve them of our capital.

They're going to target Dem donors for mid terms.

Dictator deprives citizens of right to due process.

The courts can already order banks to do whatever they want AFTER someone is convicted of a crime.

This has nothing to do with the content of the article, I just enjoy the trend of accompanying articles about Donald with pictures of him sleeping at his desk or during a meeting. What a monumental piece of shit he is.

Meanwhile, criminals switched to crypto, including Trump.
