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.

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
What does “hate for america” even mean? Does “I think mcdonalds fries are garbage” count? or “republicans are whiny little maggots”?
Skip the first and head right for the second I see.
If the feds show up to collect me for voicing my opinion. There will be no questions asked. You come through that door. Some of you are not going home.
Trump once said that this guy, Kapo Stephen “PeeWee Himmler” Miller, told him that he’d like to see America’s population reduced from the current 335 million down to 100 million.
Surely you guys can take out Stephen Miller before he takes out 225 million of you?
We don’t hate America. We hate you.
The Talibangelical issues a Fatwah.
“Worries users” - is the USA an operating system now?
Is AI writing these posts? The statement makes sense in context in the full post, but the headline absolutely does not - leads me to believe yes, AI slop.
Whats that joke Reagan cracked back in the about Russian Soviets not allowed to criticise their government?
Yea, huh. Wonder what happened to that.
Really hate the milktoast way these articles are written. “critics warning” “ignited alarm online” “backlash has ignited debate” ffs just say the Trump admin announced the end of free speech. That is literally what happened.
Some worried the administration was veering into authoritarian territory.
FFS WE’VE BEEN THERE THIS ISN’T VEERING THIS IS FOLLOWING A STRAIGHT LINE ALONG THE PATH WE’VE ALREADY BEEN ON FUCK
milktoast is a pretty milquetoast breakfast, though i will admit it actually pairs well with a milk steak boiled hard
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.
What are the “users” in this context?
They are going to milk the extrajudicial rendition until there is an actual outbreak of violence to try and stop it.
Then Trump will send those people involved into a gulag, too.
Agreed the purpose is to cause people to act and then move in to crush them. All the while playing the victim. Of course that play doesn’t always work.
That goes against the first amendment, which I think makes it anti-american. Can Stephen Miller start by deporting himself?
they’re no longer following the Constitution, in case anyone has noticed …
They never were. Unless they added things that helped them or a cohort at a given time. cf: prohibition, its repeal, etc.
Which makes them anti-American.
I don’t think they care about their hypocrisy, tbh - I think they view themselves as more American while dismantling America. This is just how reactionary coups work, they appeal to nationalism, but insist on reverting to an older status quo as a more authentic version of that nationalism. (It’s a re-invisioning of America in a sense.)
They always hated what the Constitution actually has in it, like no endorsement of their god, for instance.
It is never not projection.
He will be jailed with the rest when the time comes
