Note: I am a US Citizen, so this isn’t advice for me.
But hypothetically, if I met someone who is a refugee currently in the US, who would probably be jailed or executed if deported to their home country, what are some advice I could give as to their digital OPSEC?
Should they completely ditch using phones, but at the cost of not having constant communications tool to potentially receive notification I.C.E. activities?
What are your advice?
(Just want to gather the knowledge so one day I might be able to help someone)

Tell them to fucking move to Canada. OPSEC fails at the border under this current political climate. 😂 intelligence sharing agreement probably gonna get cancelled unless Canada starts paying subscription fees and agrees to more open sharing of Canadian data.
But it sounds like moving out of the country is not an option. If they’re registered then they’re on an excel spread sheet and eventually will be caught. If they’re not registered then let them crash in your attic or garden shed.
If they have a phone not registered in their name then lockdown ios or harden their android.
If their phone is registered then remove/delete the sim card. Lockdown the phone and use the wifi networks which are everywhere for periodic information check ins. Login to a wifi network, use RSS reader to pull down all information updates, log off.
Frankly, long term survival basically requires having a sponsor hide you in an attic.
