I'm having trouble thinking of a single researcher that has left the US for legal reasons. There are lots of researchers now in Southeast Asia! But that's because bounty programs like H1 let those people work remotely.

There are plenty of researchers not in the US saying "don't do your research in the US".

You don't have to get into legal trouble to see which way the wind is blowing.

So what you're saying is you can't name many researchers who have left the US either.
