Note: I am a US Citizen, so this isn't advice for me.

But hypothetically, if I met someone who is a refugee currently in the US, who would probably be jailed or executed if deported to their home country, what are some advice I could give as to their digital OPSEC?

Should they completely ditch using phones, but at the cost of not having constant communications tool to potentially receive notification I.C.E. activities?

What are your advice?

(Just want to gather the knowledge so one day I might be able to help someone)

First would be to avoid interactions with the police - drive extra carefully, don't let your vehicle inspection/registration expire, etc. It's probably no longer safe to stand in the day labor zones. If they're working under fake credentials, it might be better to find a cash paying individual to hire them as an independent contractor. Feel out your school district - mine has said they won't be reporting anyone as undocumented. They have started referring people for excessive absences the last couple of years (that's about getting butts in seats for funding) so you probably want to avoid getting sent to truancy court.
