I get the sentiment, but worry that this is punishing people that don't have anything to do with the atrocities being committed by the US regime. Some of those 500 US citizens may be seeking asylum, like some of the rest of us are considering.
Don't worry. They changed some visa requirements, but it looks like the "deporting 500 Americans" part is disinfo meant to rile up the internet. The President had to put out a press release denying it, asking people to only use info from the government before sharing.
They could also be working with aid organisations, and they're almost certainly bringing money with them.
I fear this is a poorly considered retaliation.
