The best and only viable option is to get out of the jurisdiction that may do these things to you (ie. reverse migration back home), specially now that the world is moving toward a larger scale armed conflict. You can read about what the US regime did to Americans who came from Japan during the WW2 (Executive Order 9066) by mass arresting everyone and putting them in concentration camps.

That's because next move may not be deportation specially if the conflict grows and US regime (same as other authoritarian regimes in the West) gets more desperate for workers (slaves mostly), in which case it doesn't matter how you store your bitcoins, you will have no access when you are in a concentration camp without any access to anything including the internet.

Apart from that the only other option is unfortunately storing the seed phrase on the internet. In which case it has to be heavily encrypted with a strong password then stored in multiple locations (eg. google drive, dropbox, onedrive, etc.) so that if you get deported you can easily access your money.

I've read about PoA (Power of Attorney) that can handle your property or other matters. Maybe you can seek legal assistance if that were to happen.

That costs a lot of money, money that the deported person may no longer have.
Additionally, these are special times where the rule of law goes away and the ruling class becomes more brutal and breaks the law. Again check the WW2 events in the USA...
