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.
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?
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
I hate America. Come at me bro.
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
Who watches the watchmen…
Who hates America more by their actions than the GOP?
Aye. Fuck the maggots
“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.
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.
