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 got excited for a minute and thought there was an ADL post because Stephen. Miller looks so much like Jonathan Greenblatt.

I don't know if they can legally deport someone just for saying certain things about the country. 1st amendment sounds like it should protect against this. Someone need to drag this to the supreme court before legally innocent people get targeted and deported. and if someone is a citizen and never traveled where would they deport them to?

Someone need to drag this to the supreme court before legally innocent people get targeted and deported.

That's already happening, they're getting tortured in El Salvador. No due process, just sending people straight to the camps for their speech, protests, or looks

Then someone needs to bring it to the supreme court asap, because that is taking it too far since it's clearly violating some laws. WHy are people just letting this happen, when it seems like the law should be on ones side? The Trump adminstr, is picking and choosing what laws it wants in its own favor to enforce, or ignore.

The SCOTUS has been taken over and corrupted by King Trump and his MAGA cult.
