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.

                No, that’s going too far. I think the criminals and the visa violations are legit, but the green card holders and the married immigrants should receive some leeway.

                If there’s legal paperwork in motion , they should be protected.

                  . . . “some leeway”. That’s a nice way to say “this never should have fucking happened, ever”. Legal paperwork my ass.

                  Edit: how about this? We toss you in prison for a few months while “legal paperwork” is in motion. Would that be alright with you?

              What excuse will you use when they start deporting criminals that are 100% US citizens? Will you use the excuse that “Hey, they are criminals”.

              What excuse will you use when they start deporting media members, podcasters and social media influencers? Will you use the excuse, “Well they shouldn’t be talking shit on America?”

              What excuse will we use for you?

      The ones primarily saying that want to shoot liberals and leftists.

      The few liberals and leftists who are pro-gun probably don’t have sufficient support or power to form a militia force. Because most liberals and leftists in the US are anti-gun.

    I’m really sick of these fucking Nazis.

    A line has been crossed, especially if you’ve ever taken the oath of enlistment or office.

    It is time to defend our constitution.

    I’m unable to say what I’d like to say about this, sooooo, I’m just going to recommend a good movie.

    It’s called Inglorious Bastards, it’s a wonderful film.

    Also, baseball is a great pass time. 🐻 Go Cubs!

          I’ve heard that as well. I can also remember a time when pap paw would have gotten up out of his wheelchair to kill one last Nazi. I think it’s really interesting that the rise of open neo-nazism seemed to neatly coincide with most of the old WWII vets dying off or getting farmed off to nursing homes.

            This is correct. Not only did I learn from my elders about how shitty the Nazis were. I got to slaughter thousands in multiple games over multiple genres. I still have the belief today, the only good nazi is a dead nazi.

    Hello…? ACLU? Journalists? Lawyers?Congresspeople? Senators? It’s the 1st Amendment. The very first one! They should be suing this administration and blasting this out every single day. And we all should be calling our representatives every day, marching, and protesting. To start. Our democracy and country is being strangled, and the silence is deafening.

      I think we are a little bit past lawsuits and the ACLU. The rule of law is dead. Now there is only action and consequence.

      Dems are captured oposition. Best you can hope for now is state seccessions or a military coup/junta. Baring that, you won’t believe how bad things are going to get.

                who could be bother to vote

                Also those who aren’t allowed, those whose ability to vote was surprised, etc.

                But go ahead and keep pretending half the country voted for something or was too lazy to vote, it surely couldn’t be anything else

        the DINOs are essentially republicans that would never get elected as an R, so they pretend to be on the otherside, and they would like to keep the money train going with trump in power, because they benefit from it too.

          So we can’t criticize the country we were born and raised in without “wanting to lose all we have”? Sounds like some bootlicking bullshit to me.
