Trump administration officials are suggesting their immigration crackdown could expand to include deporting convicted U.S. citizens and charging anyone — not just immigrants — who criticizes Trump’s policies. Here are 3 tactics the administration has teased that legal analysts say would challenge Americans’ rights:
-
Sending convicted U.S. citizens to prisons abroad.
-
Putting critics of the administration’s policies in jeopardy.
-
Questioning the authority of court orders.
My sense is that most Americans just dismiss this stuff as political nonsense and don’t pay attention to it. They don’t realize how many people, including them, might be affected in the future.
