Any non-US-citizen should have some level of concern leaving the US now unless they don't plan to return. It's not necessarily a large concern, but there didn't used to be any. It's my understanding that any visa can be revoked at the border upon entry (including green card) ...

That has always been the case, where the immigration officer at the border has wide discretion to refuse entry to anyone who is not a citizen. I do agree that prior to now that discretion was very rarely exercised.
It is concerning the number of lies coming out of the administration and the people who willingly believe the lies without question. Especially around deportation of undocumented peoples who are criminals. The vast majority of deportations have not been of undocumented people and they have not been of criminals. If they are criminals they are criminals in the same sense that most US citizens are criminals. Have you ever gotten a speeding ticket or any other kind of minor infraction? That's the excuse they're using now for ICE to revoke status and deport people.
I don't support people illegally entering this country but it is quite shameful that we are deporting people who are using a legal processes to come here, including the asylum process. It's shameful that we are denying people entry based upon arbitrary reasons of them exercising their freedom of speech and differences of opinions. That is what second and third world countries did. The countries we said were ruled by petty dictators.
