#GrapheneOS Important Statement

One of our two senior developers has been forcibly detained and conscripted to participate in a war. When they first went missing, we revoked their repository access as a precaution. We soon learned their disappearance was completely unrelated to GrapheneOS. Our priority has been keeping them safe.

We've used our available connections to try to keep them safe. There's no way to get them out of the conscription. However, they're an incredibly talented security researcher and engineer and it would be extraordinarily misguided to send them to front line combat. This seems to be understood now.

GrapheneOS development and updates have continued and will keep going. We have substantial funds available to hire multiple experienced developers. We'll need to hire multiple experienced developers to fill their big shoes. They'll hopefully be safe and when they return we'll have a bigger team.

If you're an experienced AOSP developer interested in working full time on GrapheneOS in a fully remote position, see the hiring page at:

We can pay people anywhere in the world via BTC, XMR, ETH or Wise (local bank transfers). We need people who can hit the ground running due to the current situation.

Our near term focus is going to heavily shift to Android 16 porting, maintenance and continuing to do better patching than standard Android 15 QPR2. An OEM providing us early access to Android 16 sources would help a lot and we wouldn't need to slow down new feature development nearly as much.

Which country?

I havent thought hard about it, but at this point in the game, what else are they supposed to do? Get voted into office and then say, "sorry, no money cant do anything"? Nobody seems to want to be that guy haha

And how long would that take? Long enough for another election? Maybe it never happens then? These would be the concerns of the opposing side. The country voted for the guy that said he would send people home, and pretty overwhelmingly. Think El Salvador. Those people are pretty happy with Bukele, and he had to go around normal processes. I am sure noone wants to go back to gangs overrunning the country. Just something to consider.

We could go all day, but we are going in circles. Ill end it here for me anyway. So long as we have countries, taxes, social security, welfare, etc, I dont think its Ok to enter countries illegally. I do think you should be sent home for that. I dont think a country should have to take it on the chin if so many people illegally enter that its impossible to remove them.

Of course that's the media's take.

So then you must be against what Bukele has done in El Salvador, right? He had to suspend certain rights to clean up his streets. His whole country loves him for it, but if they had it your way, Salvadorans would still be living in a nightmare.

Vitor thats just an emotional response. I understand where youre coming from, but it does not address the problem.

Im finding it difficult to understand why so many people think its not a huge problem to have millions of people illegally enter a country. I would hope people could at least acknowledge that, and talk about legitimate pathways to solving that problem.

Thats true, so we have no good sources of information, yet almost everyone is certain about their facts. Regardless, the US still has a problem of too many illegal immigrants and not enough courts. I dont expect them to just take that on the chin.

Yes, that is the media's take. I think youll find it to be wrong in time, like most of their takes. But maybe not, and if youre right that Garcia is just a good guy legal resident that was wrongfully deported, then I was wrong. When you have millions of people to deport, youre bound to get something wrong (although Im not convinced this one was wrong yet).

You would think. But the US has adopted a new policy by which they are not returning people to their country of citizenship.

Non-Mexicans have been deported to Mexico. A mother of four children was deported with two of her kids, the two others remained in the US. She is not from Mexico. She is a foreigner with nothing, no job, and two kinds. Had they been sent back home, they would have had their family to help them out.

Usually, the process for deportation requires the government to prove the criteria for deportation are met, allows for the defendant to have representation, and requires for a judge to decide on the merit of the case if the defendant contests the deportation. But the US government doesn't follow those rules.

To make things worst, in the case of El Salvador, the US government is contracting the El Salvadorian government to detain people they have deported. In other words they are paying to have people detained in a foreign country without having being charged for a crime.

The US has deported Venezuelan to El Salvador. Some of them were legally living in the US.

One Salvadoran legally living in the US, and has a protected status preventing his deportation to El Salvador, was deported to El Salvador. He is in jail, not with his family. The US government won't bring him back.

That's why due process is important. You can't let government agents decide who gets deported and to which country. With the courts, the process is public and fallows a clearly defined process. With ICE, the process is secretive and arbitrary.

The government is not transparent about who is being deported. Some families discovered a family member had been deported because they saw them in a video filmed in an El Salvadorian prison.

How would Americans react if compatriots where deported to a foreign country without due process? My guess is, they would be outraged.

Ive been engaging on this topic for some days, so this may be my last reply.

There are so many people in the US illegally, it would be basically impossible to give all of them due process and also have a court system. Even just 1,000,000 people (and its way more), at 1 hour per person of due pricess, is 1,000,000 hours.. Im not saying they shouldnt get it, but because there were administrations allowing an open border (illegally) this is a mess.

Entering the US illegally is a crime. No other ceime needs to be committed to be deported.

Venezuela will not accept their citizens back from the US, so they had to send them somewhere.

The "one salvadoran legally living in the US", it seems from what I am seeing the guy illegally entered the US, he had two legal deportation orders, and two courts found him to be tied to MS-13 and human trafficking. Also hes an El Salvadoran citizen, so he is back in his country of citizenship.

Americans would be outraged if they were deported to a foreign country, but they are not too worried about that, because they are legal citizens of the US. Trump made that comment about " home growns", and I am not a fan, but I also have no info to know exactly what that means.

I fully admit, its very difficult to get good info, or to even know what is true and what isnt. I also dont want any negativity for anyone, but i also understand why Americans dont like that so many people completely disrespect their immigration laws. I think the estimate is 13,000,000 people who went to the US illegally. Then many need assistance from the government (tax payers). Its a tough situation.
