It's very important to remember that this individual and many others like them are in the US 100% legally. They have not broken any laws. But US federal agents have rounded them up and put them in detention.

Agree with this. I have managed teams of front-end developers in the past. If I had a team today of, say, five front-end developers, three of them would be laid off, minimum, as we adopt AI. I've used Claude code to build frontends recently and it can do the work of several front end developers, amd do it very well. One or two frontend developers would be kept to manage the AI and work with it. In that case, they cease to be front-end developers and become AI builders.
