    Other commenter said they may have asylum there, and last news I can find in Feb says they’re there. Only had a quick look though

      Yeah I’m not an expert on the Tate brothers and I’m not going to search them up.

      IIRC they were in Romania and when the Trump admin landed in January the brothers some how got special leave to travel on the proviso they returned for their hearings later. They went to Florida thinking that they would get looked after by the Trump admin, but it didn’t go very well and the governor of Florida was threatening charges in the US.

      So to my knowledge there was no formal “asylum” but they were banking on their ideology aligning with Trumps.

      Apologies, I didn’t mean the legal definition of pf Asylum. The Tate brothers are both American citizens, but they’re definitely leaning on the current political climate in the US to avoid consequences
