I thought it was for us citizens.
Yes, for the most part they are if they are physically present in the US: https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/artI-S8-C18-8-7-2/ALDE_00001262/
There may be narrow exceptions, however.

Just now, Bkk Brian said:Yes of course you are.
She violated it as the evidence clearly shows.
Violated what, specifically?

10 minutes ago, Bkk Brian said:Defending terrorist support and defending her support for a designated terrorist group, shameful of you. Celebrating Oct 7th the worst massacre of Jews since the holocaust is hardly not supporting violence.
Since the October 7 attack, Mapheze repeatedly expressed support for the terror attack and glorified those who carried out the atrocities.
Her social-media profiles continue to glorify Hamas terrorists. More recently, however, she has posted footage of the Israeli hostages being dragged in front of hostile crowds.
Former President Donald Trump recently signed an executive order on January 30 to revoke student visas of individuals who have shown support for Hamas, as part of a broader crackdown on anti-Semitism in American universities.
I am voicing support for the Constitution and especially the First Amendment, not Saleh's actions or statements. Don't confuse my support of the Constitution with sympathy for Saleh or the Palestinians. An assault on one person's constitutional rights is an assault on everyone's constitutional rights.
If she has broken the law, then she should face the consequences and potentially be deported after due process.

3 minutes ago, Bkk Brian said:Where did I claim he was? His connection is highly relevant though as detailed in the OP
I'm not sure to what extent the actions of someone's parent would be relevant in a court of law.
I could see how such a connection may be relevant to decisions regarding admissibility of aliens when they apply for a visa to the US. Foreigners outside the US probably don't have much in the way of constitutional rights. Foreigners in the US have much more protection under the constitution.
I think it would be much more difficult to deport someone based upon the actions of their parent.

Read the OP including the video, 3rd page in and you still don't know...........😴
Voicing support for something isn't the same as incitement. She would have to be directly responsible for urging or requesting someone to commit a specific act prior to the act taking place. I haven't seen allegations of that in any of the OP and video.

32 minutes ago, Bkk Brian said:From the OP:
Saleh’s father, Yousef, has been widely quoted in media coverage of the Israel-Hamas conflict. He also served as director of the U.S.-based think tank United Association for Studies and Research (UASR), which The Wall Street Journal has described as a front for Hamas. UASR was founded by Musa Abu Marzook, a senior Hamas official currently based in Doha, Qatar, who is now the group's second-in-command. Yousef led the organization until 2005 before returning to Gaza to advise Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh.
Saleh's father isn't subject to deportation from the US.
The article is about the daughter's presence in the US and enrollment in Georgetown.

22 minutes ago, Bkk Brian said:How is that relevant, she violated First Amendment rights by supporting a designated terror group, celebrating the Oct 7th attacks & numerous other examples of inciting violence.
The First Amendment provides broad protections to speech by the public. The only party that can "violate the First Amendment", or the rights provided by it, is the US government. This is because the First Amendment is intended to curb the US Government's ability to limit what one can say prior to saying it.
What specific acts of violence is she alleged to have incited?
The article is relevant because her speech may be protected speech under the First Amendment. Trump's executive order may or may not be found to be constitutional, in whole or in part.

38 minutes ago, Bkk Brian said:Its not about what you believe though, it is about the facts that have been revealed so far. You are also making an assumption that he was just an advisor.
"Mapheze’s father Ahmed Yousef served in that Haniyeh-led organization, in a role variably described as “an adviser to Hamas’s Foreign Ministry,” a “senior adviser to the Hamas Foreign Ministry,” “foreign ministry director-general in Gaza’s Hamas government,” or “top political advisor to Haniyeh in the Hamas foreign ministry.”
Her father is in the US on a student visa?

Just now, Bkk Brian said:Why is it reasonable to think that? Trumps executive order was only made a little while ago. Why has she and the university been busy deleting her social and student posts that referred to her hate speech and ties to Hamas?
I would find it difficult to believe that the State Department would not be aware of her father's role as an advisor to Hamas or of her activities. She seems to have had a fairly high profile while in the US as well.
I can understand why people and organizations with unpopular views may want to remove content from social media and other websites given the views and actions of the current administration.
We will see how much of Trump's executive order of January 20, 2025 stands up to judicial review. I'm sure there will be tests of it shortly.

Is it reasonable to think that the State Department, CIA and FBI were unaware of who her father is or what her activities in Gaza were when she applied for her student visa?
What reason is there to think that she hasn't already been investigated?
If CAMERA has concrete evidence that she's a formal member of Hamas or has provided material support to Hamas, why hasn't CAMERA already supplied this information to US law enforcement?

If US authorities can find that her actions crossed the line into providing actual material support for terrorist activities, then she could be criminally prosecuted and deported.
If she is a formal member of Hamas, then she would be an inadmissible alien and should be deported. I note that the OP lacks any direct allegation that she is a formal member of Hamas.
US law regarding support of terrorist organizations seems to be fairly prescriptive and is limited to material support, not speech. Here's a link that provides some basic info: https://www.state.gov/foreign-terrorist-organizations/
Merely expressing support of Palestinian causes, however unpopular they may be, is likely to be considered protected speech under the First Amendment of the Constitution.

@Etaoin Shrdlu who are good brokers you recommend? But are brokers commission driven too? They might give us plans that will give them commission.
Insurance companies in Thailand compensate their distribution systems, both their own agency systems and independent insurance brokerage companies, by commission. It isn't going to be possible for the personal lines insurance buyer to do much about this.
Mitigating this is the fact that there isn't much variance in the commission levels paid by different insurers for the same line of coverage. Plus, there isn't anything preventing a client from discussing commission levels with their broker when reviewing options.
The insurance brokerage industry has changed a lot since my day. There are a lot of new players and many of them are involved in personal lines insurance. Perhaps other AN members can provide suggestions based upon their recent experience.

Ok, but then require publicly traded US companies disclose these payments, including names of recipients and amounts, in their 10k filings and annual reports to shareholders.

An insurance agent's primary duty is to his or her principal, the insurance company. Agents have no obligation to provide advice. They often only know the features of the insurance product or products that their principal offers and cannot provide options from other insurers and can only explain the features of the products they sell.
Under the law of agency, the principal of an independent insurance broker is their client, not the insurer. The broker will therefore have an obligation to act in the interest of the person seeking insurance coverage. Brokers can provide options from several insurers and can explain differences in coverage and claims-paying attitudes.
I would suggest finding an independent insurance broker that has distribution agreements with several insurers and ask that broker to provide quotes after discussing your specific needs and objectives. A good broker will be able to give you guidance and options.
Good luck.

We went around there today to the repair shop. Same excuses. We all got angry with them. They have a hundred old smashed up cars there....
unsure about the endorsement issue. Its been approved only pay 50%. We will take the ins docs to the shop where she purchased the insurance.
When the accident occurred, was the insurance company notified promptly and did she take the car to the garage that the insurance company specified?
Is the car being repaired at the dealer's garage? Did the insurance company authorize use of the dealer's garage in advance of the repairs?

its not an old car. I think 2 yrs old
the car repair shop said. Actually they take 8 months so far and not finished.
Eight months to fix a car? I'm not sure the problem lies with the insurer. Is it a low-volume make or model with few spare parts available?
Did the insurance company direct her to use that garage? Did it approve the repairs?
Is it being repaired at the dealer's garage and did she have the dealer's garage endorsement on the insurance policy?
What amount is the car insured for under the policy and what is the cost of the repairs?

The OIC is the place to lodge formal complaints against an insurance company.
https://www.oic.or.th/en/complaint
But before you take up a complaint against an insurer with the OIC, make sure you're on solid ground.
CharlieH's post above is relevant.

Happily I sold my bike a few weeks back and I went with the people to the department so they changed everything I didn’t wanna have somebody give me the money and then not change it over right away into their name I’m sure it happens all the time here TIT
This is the way to do it.
Many years ago, I knew someone, a Thai, who sold his pickup and failed to go to the DLT with the new buyer to transfer the title.
Months later, the RTP showed up at his door. The pickup, still registered in his name, had been used to transport illicit substances upcountry.
He was able to convince the RTP that he had sold the pickup and wasn't involved in anything illegal, but I think he went through a difficult time while he was investigated.

I think there are two tax issues here.
One is gift taxes. There is an exemption for the recipient spouse of up to 20 million baht. No tax payable by the recipient if under this amount.
The other one is income tax. This one will likely involve the issue as to whether the giver remitted the funds before the gift was completed or whether the recipient remitted the gift after it was completed abroad.
I think the income tax is the tricky one and I would advise getting written professional advice specific to your particular situation on both issues.

In spite of what some may say, I think a double-edge safety razor is still the best option. Passable ones are available on Lazada for a few hundred baht and blades are extremely inexpensive.
