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.

    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!

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

                  So let me get this straight. You need proof that Lemmy liberals call people nazis?! LMAO

                  Do you need this proof because you have never seen that before here on Lemmy? I just wanna be clear here.

                  Because surely you aren’t asking in bad faith. You are a fellow conservative community mod. You are helping the cause. So I hesitate to think you would be arguing in bad faith. Not you. No…not you. I know how much you are against trolling and sealioning.
