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.

    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?

      Lemmy has shown me that we can call anyone who disagrees with us, “nazis” and “fascists” without proof. If you don’t like that, then please take it up with Lemmy admin.

      I’m just following Lemmy’s example. Do you ask liberal Lemmy posters for “proof” when they call people nazis and fascists? You seem a bit biased by not doing that. I would hate to start questioning your motivations.

      After all, you mod some conservative communities. Surely you wouldn’t be acting in bad faith and just doing that to mock conservatives, right?!

        My conservative communities are the only ones that are modded based on the community’s and the instance’s rules instead of the thin-skinned moderator’s feelings.

        They are free speech strongholds for everyone to have civil discussions.

        If you don’t like that, then please take it up with Lemmy admin.

          Oh I have no problem with it. I think it’s hilarious. This community is also a free speech stronghold for everyone to have civil discussions.

          I think it’s awesome that you feel so strongly about how great the conservative cause is that you mod conservative communities. Because if you took those over just to mock and get back at conservatives, then that would be a form of trolling. And we all know that you definitely don’t like to troll. So that’s awesome!

              Then why are you posting here and not your conservative communities, comrade?

              Surely you are not posting here in bad faith. I know how much you hate trolls. And you like the conservative cause so much you are a mod to conservative communities.

              So it seems like you should be happy here. It’s another great conservative community. Lemmy needs more conservative communites! I’m glad you are doing your part to help conservatives out!

                    But back to the point of this conversation you must have proof of liberals calling people Nazis right?

                    That’s why you jumped into this conversation isn’t it?
