If you want to formulate a bank-shot argument about how this preys on people of Chinese ancestry, I'm fine with that. All I'm here to say is that you can't plausibly be charged with a FARA violation simply for arguing or protesting for a policy position that China happens to want you to take; the DOJ bears the burden of proving that you knew you were coordinating with China, directly, and, if it's a felony, willfully (that, is, voluntarily, deliberately, with a purpose to break the law). Read Klippenstein's piece again. Does he want you to know this? | ||

You can't plausibly be arrested by ICE if you're in the US legally, in theory, but look where we are. I'm afraid that a paranoid, worst-case, bad faith assumption isn't something we can handwave away anymore. | ||
