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.

          Is there a point you’re trying to make here? If I don’t like your little troglodyte of a “president” I should leave?

          I’m a patriot. Why would abandon my country?

            That was a pretty prompt edit as well lol 😅😅

            I don’t like him either. I also didn’t like your troglodyte of a “presidential candidate” as well.

            Perhaps we will have better choices in 2028?

                My troll comments and what I actually believe in are two different things. Perhaps I should have used my other account to appeal to your patriotism.

                  I can guarantee that you genuinely have no qualities that would appeal to me in any way shape or form.

                  But I do love trolling trolls, so please- continue. Because the further this goes, the better chances a mod will come clean it all up.

                  Go on, tell us more about your beloved Краснов.

        You don’t even know what the problems are. But nah, I would rather the citizens be united against the government and not against each other. Born here, raised here, served here. However, may I say fuck Bush Jr?

        You may hate Trump, but I don’t hate my fellow citizens. I actually respect your opinions.

          I do not need you to respect my opinions.

          I need you to respect our fellow citizens by not making deriding comments for them to leave like you did.

            Respect is earned. What have you done for the country? Do you hate the country or do you just hate the president?

            Sitting on the couch and hating people that they’ve never met through social media does not get to make demands lol

            You want to take this country for granted just because you hate the president? Go ahead. You want me to respect you through this app because you demand it? Nope.

            I’m not the one calling people names. I told that person to leave voluntarily if they hate the country that much.

      I genuinely can’t imagine how empty your life would have to be to sign up to lemmy and spend your tragically finite time on this earth “”“trolling”“” people.

      Go to twitter, make some like minded freinds, maybe pickup a hobby or something dude.
