Note: I am a US Citizen, so this isn't advice for me.

But hypothetically, if I met someone who is a refugee currently in the US, who would probably be jailed or executed if deported to their home country, what are some advice I could give as to their digital OPSEC?

Should they completely ditch using phones, but at the cost of not having constant communications tool to potentially receive notification I.C.E. activities?

What are your advice?

(Just want to gather the knowledge so one day I might be able to help someone)

Uh... At the fear of sounding pedantic, do not go into a country illegally.

If I went to France or Guatemala, I would not be surprised if I suddenly get deported. In order for Laws to mean something, they have to be upheld.

Or are we supposed to pick and chose Laws, but only when convenient? If incorrect, can I rob you or get your Visa or MasterCard numbers? Promise not to use them. ;-)

Well the US should stop underdeveloping other countries if they didn't want people to flee those countries.

Hmmm, fair point.

I am reminded of the Monroe Doctrine and say, Operation Condor.

Touché, friend. Have an upvote.
