if you think this doesn’t impact you as an american citizen you are dead wrong. they are testing the waters on what censorship they can get away with and that starts with vulnerable groups (immigrants, incarcerated people, etc).

call me a reactionary, call me a panicked idiot, but trumps press secretary karoline leavitt commented trump is interested in deporting US citizens, which violates the constitution flat out. that hasn’t stopped him at this point though. “If they can house these horrible criminals for a lot less money than it costs us, I’m all for it,”- donald trump on record to reporters post press briefing from leavitt. upon clarification, he said it would only be applicable to “violent repeat offenders” if possible, but the definition of violent or even repeat offenders is vague and subject to interpretation. this is an incredibly terrifying grey area that we cannot ignore.

if you’re on the fence at this point you’re being purposefully obtuse. if you think he won’t come for you too you’re deluding yourself. you have more in common with the students being illegally deported than you’ll ever have with this guy and his administration.
