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.
Skip the first and head right for the second I see.
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
Who hates America more by their actions than the GOP?
Aye. Fuck the maggots
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.

The Talibangelical issues a Fatwah.
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…
I want to get off Mr. Bones’ Wild Ride…
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
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.
“What constitution?” - current government
“Some”. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Straight to El Salvador 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.
I love who the government defines as enemies. I don’t love that the government defines them 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.
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
We don’t hate America. We hate you.
You left out this:
💯
All of these MAGAts need to be in jail.
