My Chinese American colleagues in Texas public universities such as the whole U Texas including MD Anderson are now required to report family visit trip to China ahead of trip, and provide a post-travel briefing detailing the trip. Land of the free (your experience may differ).
🚨NEW INVESTIGATION🚨
We have opened an investigation into the failure of military aged male non-citizens to register for the Selective Service, which carries serious penalties.
This can put military aged males on the deportation fast track.

Military Draft Sign-Ups Plunge as War Fears Rise:

Some people want to include women in the military draft. Some people want to only include men.
I propose a compromise: eliminate the @SSS_gov department altogether.
