Top Trump official Stephen Miller’s recent declaration that anyone who “preaches hate for America” will face deportation has ignited alarm online, with critics warning the statement disregards First Amendment protections.
…
Social media users and legal analysts raised immediate concerns, pointing out that expressing dissent or criticism of the government is protected under the First Amendment. Some worried the administration was veering into authoritarian territory.
…
The backlash has reignited broader debates over the limits of free speech, especially as civil liberties fall under scrutiny. While immigration enforcement remains a core theme of President Donald Trump’s platform, critics are increasingly questioning whether rhetoric like Miller’s is a precursor to more aggressive suppression of dissent.
If the feds show up to collect me for voicing my opinion. There will be no questions asked. You come through that door. Some of you are not going home.
This is the same bogus and weaponizable logic that legitimate criticism of Israel’s genocide = ‘antisemitism’ is. If you want to call legitimate criticism of the illegal and unethical actions of this POTUS administration ‘hate for America’, the notion that deportations (of US-born people) are going to ramp up shortly just became very real for me
The resistance needs to grow before my country is fucked… #GrowTheResistance
Before?
*even more
So let’s say that SCOTUS rules that this policy infringes on the first amendment. Then they deport another person. Who’s to stop doing it?
Stephen Miller is the one preaching hate for America, the weird little twerp.
Death to AmeriKKKa
Fuck Steven Millier the majority of Americans hate the POS fucktard! The majority of Americans hate the way the moronic fat orange slob trump has changed democracy in America and find him repulsive, disgusting and a complete fucking idiot along with his cabal of asshat republicans who can fucking shove christianity, their Bible and their ideology up their privileged white asses! Nothing but POS cowards, white trash who hide behind their walls and use the moron low IQ ICE Agents who probably average an IQ of 2! Can’t wait to see America fight back…in time those agents will regret their I’ll will!
Sir, please step this way. Your flight to El Salvador leaves from gate 88.
They are going to milk the extrajudicial rendition until there is an actual outbreak of violence to try and stop it.
Then Trump will send those people involved into a gulag, too.
Agreed the purpose is to cause people to act and then move in to crush them. All the while playing the victim. Of course that play doesn’t always work.
I wish I could say I’m surprised.
I don’t hate America. America is a continent. It would be really silly to hate an entire continent.
Was not expecting the purposefully obtuse European response in this thread.
But he’s doing it right now??? Ohh he’s conflating the current administration with America even though all their values are in complete contradiction of everything this country is supposed to stand for. Got it.
Whats that joke Reagan cracked back in the 80s about Russian Soviets not allowed to criticise their government?
Yea, huh. Wonder what happened to that.
i love the USA and everything the constitution stands for. i don’t agree with how this administration is running the government in some respects.
“Some”. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
“What constitution?” - current government
Straight to El Salvador jail
What are the “users” in this context?
Here it is, the mask comes off and they tell us to comply or die. We are officially in a fascist dictatorship.
This is where we use our community organizations to alert when and where ICE will be showing up, and making sure armed support shows up to make sure ICE steps down or dies whenever they slink out of the shadows.
If they come for you to deport you to El Salvador you need to kill as many as possible or try to escape to Mexico/Canada, because going to El Salvador is a death sentence anyway.
