I belive the Satmar Rebbe forbid people from leaving Hungary/Romania before World War II

Obviously after the war he changed him mind.

In fact most gedolim forbid moving to either the United States or israel before World War II, yet ALL of them obviously changed their minds. It would be hard to find a tshuva forbidding moving to NY and it would sound silly to quote such a tshuva today as halacha
