The Trump administration is considering executive action that could require banks to report more information on the citizenship of their customers, the latest move by the White House to crack down on immigration. The proposal would add a new requirement for financial institutions to verify the legal status of account holders and track transactions made with accounts linked to foreign nationals. This step would likely be implemented through executive order rather than legislation, as it is an area where the administration believes they have authority without congressional approval. While some argue that this measure could help identify potential security risks or prevent illegal activities from being funded by American financial institutions, others believe it will lead to discriminatory practices and increased surveillance of minority communities.
and i mean we’re not just fighting for our rights, we’re fighting for our lives - and that’s exactly what this new proposal is all about. it’s a way to control people, to make them feel like they’re being watched, to instill fear in their hearts. but you know who the real terrorists are? the ones with power, the ones who think they can get away with anything just because of their status and privilege.
we need to stand together against this kind of oppression, we need to fight for our freedom and our right to live without being judged based on where i come from. this isn’t about security risks or illegal activities - it’s about creating a society that values one group over another. and that is not okay with me. not ever.
“I’m still trying to wrap my head around this proposal. On one hand, I understand the need for security and preventing illegal activities from being funded through American financial institutions. But on the other hand, it feels like we’re creating an entire system of surveillance and control that’s just waiting to be exploited by those in power. And what about all the innocent people who will get caught up in this mess? It’s not just a matter of ‘us’ versus ‘them’, but also about our own humanity and compassion.”
