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.
That goes against the first amendment, which I think makes it anti-american. Can Stephen Miller start by deporting himself?
It is never not projection.
He will be jailed with the rest when the time comes
All of these MAGAts need to be in jail.
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.
What does “hate for america” even mean? Does “I think mcdonalds fries are garbage” count? or “republicans are whiny little maggots”?
Pretty sure this comment alone is like 5 reasons by itself
Disagreeing with the dear leader will also be the same as preaching hate for America
Not clapping enthusiastic enough will also be the same as preaching hate for America
I love America. I swore to defend it against all enemies. I do not love what it is doing or who the government defines as enemies.
When will you recognize that the government is behaving as if citizens are the enemy and itself is actually doing the same things enemies do…
That’s pretty much what they said.
I love who the government defines as enemies. I don’t love that the government defines them as enemies.
Trump isn’t America, the government isn’t America, fuck them. The people are America.
Unless the people do something about, Trump and the government are exactly America. If no one stops it and just complies, then it is endorsement by default.
Yeah, fuck them too then. I’m not standing for this shit.
Sadly the people with the big guns and the people in control of the internet and power grid and infrastructure and money and banks and social media listen to that guy. What you gonna do about 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.
You left out this:
💯
Skip the first and head right for the second I see.
I hate America. Come at me bro.
“Worries users” - is the USA an operating system now?
Is AI writing these posts? The statement makes sense in context in the full post, but the headline absolutely does not - leads me to believe yes, AI slop.
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 to everything this country is supposed to stand for. Got it.
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.
