It's what Pinochet did, and he was very much admired by Reagan and Thatcher. I certainly wouldn't put it past Trump's people to start doing this.

Pierre Poilievre’s next target: your rights in c/canada

[–] floofloof 7 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago) (1 children)

I'm Canadian and have lived here for more than 20 years. Poilievre is threatening to deport people like me for criticising Israel, and threatening to strip rights from my LGBTQ+ friends and family. We are all Canadian, and pleased to be Canadian, yet this man threatens to turn the state against us just as Trump is doing in the USA. Everyone needs to get out and vote to keep him away from power, or it could very well be the end of democratic Canada as we know it, and a personal disaster for many Canadian families.

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.

Email to Massachusetts lawyer warned her to ‘depart the US immediately’ even though removing US citizens is illegal

A Massachusetts immigration lawyer who is a US-born American citizen is speaking out after she received an email from Trump administration immigration authorities telling her she needed to leave the country.

Nicole Micheroni described receiving an email on 11 April – and that its heading was “notice of termination of parole”.

“It is time for you to leave the United States,” the email read. “If you do not depart the United States immediately you will be subject to potential law enforcement actions that will result in your removal from the United States.”

Micheroni told NBC Boston: “At first I thought it was for a client, but I looked really closely and the only name on the email was mine.

We need more people prepared to not be careful. Being careful means acquiescing to oppression in silence. Real resistance means taking risks.

Ah, but Democrats will fight back by (1) pointing out that it's against the rules, (2) waiting for him to acknowledge his error and apologize, and (3) voting for their own imprisonment.

For all their professed know-how with money, conservatives have never understood the idea of investing in society for a long-term return. They're always very short-sighted.
