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.
I dunno folks. we certainly don’t have any other examples of Trump policies or behavior that might support this notion. I’m glad they are just “increasingly questioning” it.
Maybe when the concentration camps start showing up on US soil that will be enough.
They’re not going to be on US soil. There’s a reason the Nazis built there’s in foreign soil as well. If people are being rounded up into camps, they really have nothing to lose at that point. If you build them on US soil, you legitimately have to worry about crowds of heavily armed Americans showing up to liberate people from them. If you’re going to get sent to a camp anyway, you have nothing to lose taking up arms against them. It’s a lot more difficult to try and liberate a concentration camp in El Salvador.
If they’re on US soil then no one can get in the way to prevent these people from being released, by sending them to another country it’s much more easy to say “Nothing I can do!”
Yeah and much better than having Cuban intelligence report on all your crimes against humanity in GITMO.
The media is going to question and further legitimize this fascist state right up until their networks go down because other nations are bombing us. It’s up to Americans to stop this travesty before it gets that far…”they”, ie media pundits or current crop of political leaders, are not going to do it for us.
