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.

    Who do you think is a Nazi and who do you think wants to kill millions of people?

    Also how can you deport a US citizen?

      Well, historically, they’re a group of assholes who wanted to kill millions of people, Jewish people specifically. Today, it still holds true. The Nazis still want to kill millions of Jews. Many of them extended it to everyone who isn’t a Nazi too.

          Fart, you already know what I think. I think Hamas are effectively Nazis.

          And I know what you think, you think Israel are Nazis. Hell, you probably think I’m one too. So what’s the goal here?

            I’ve never said or implied that I think you’re a Nazi so please don’t blame me for things you’re fabricating out of whole cloth.

            This article is about Miller saying that American citizens should be deported for disagreeing with the current administration so when you said that Nazis should be deported before they can kill millions you were taking about Hamas?

            I didn’t realize there were many in the United States.

              Sorry about that, I don’t know why I thought you specifically called me a Nazi.

              And he doesn’t say citizens. You can’t deport a citizen. There’s been a lot of ruckus over green card holders, but they are not citizens. Bit of a difference there.

              Hamas supporters? There’s a few, and there’s no reason we should let them stay or let them in in the first place.

              Oh, I don’t need proof. Lemmy has shown me that we can just call anyone who disagrees with us “nazis.” Oh and we can call them “fascists” too. It’s easy. Everyone does it!

              So ewww, the Dems/liberals are such nazis and fascists. And hey, if you support them, then you are a fascist nazi too.

              I’m just following Lemmy’s example. :)

                  What civility rule have I broken? You asked who the nazis were and I answered using Lemmy Logic.

                  So are you disagreeing with Lemmy? Be careful, you’re gonna get canceled real quick if you don’t go with the Lemmy wave.

                    Getting back to the point of this conversation I guess you don’t have any proof of the allegations you’re making you just feel like it is true?
