Peter - thank you for doing this!

For founders that have non-citizen employees: What is the best approach for assessing the risk that Trump's travel ban and/or immigration restrictions will affect your team? How much should one worry about the team's dependents (spouse, kids, parents) either because your team member is affected, or because they are independently affected? (eg, a US citizen employee is married to a non-citizen.) What are the key risks of new policies? If we have folks on different kinds of visas, are some "safer" than others? Any guidelines that founders should put in place in order to avoid risks created by new policies?

Thanks for help, there is a lot of FUD on this topic.



That's a complicated, fluid, and fact-specific question. Unfortunately, given what's at stake, you should retain an attorney to analyze the issues and risks and come up with some type of plan/solution.
