You have derivative citizenship? I mean, you’ll probably be fine, but you’re in a riskier category than a natural-born citizen of natural-born-citizen parents. The country is crazy right now. Likely most or all the worst-case scenarios won’t occur. But you’re slightly more exposed than others. That being said, if they’re coming for you, things will have become so fucked in the US and world more generally that it wouldn’t really matter where you are.
