With Bannon gone, I think the only immigration hard-liners left in Trump's circle are Stephen Miller and his chief of staff John Kelly who could very easily quit before ICE has a chance to wreck YC. Whitehouse Chief of Statff is a notorious high-turnover position and Kelly apparently threatens to quit on a weekly basis.

Anyway, YC never threw Thiel under the bus so maybe they can call in a favor if things get dicey?
