Summary
Donald Trump and congressional Republicans are preparing to crack down on pro-Palestinian protesters.
Measures could include deporting foreign students advocating for Hamas, prosecuting protest leaders for failing to register as foreign agents, and applying anti-terrorism or hate speech laws.
Critics, including civil rights groups like the ACLU and CCR, warn this could criminalize protected speech.
Legal battles are expected, especially as groups like the Heritage Foundation push initiatives like Project Esther to target alleged Hamas supporters.
Campus protests and student visa revocations are likely focal points for enforcement.
But Democrat bad tho
When they lay the ground work for these things to happen, yes

Time to return to the old school classic of occupying jails with free speech fights.
Ah yes let’s crack down on the already cracked down student protests where we already repeatedly sent riot police multiple times to beat and arrest students.
Thanks Biden
It’s an election year… Should we help Palestine by protesting
A - the party that acts as a partial if somewhat ineffective check on right wing Israeli policy, OR
B - the guy who has an Israeli settlement named after him for building an embassy in East Jerusalem (and will possibly have us rounded up and sent to camps, if he becomes president)
Aren’t the elections over? Whatever “strategic” excuse for supporting Biden/Harris is gone now. It’s a bi-partisan policy of unconditional support for Israel.
It’s true Trump will be more extreme, but there is no longer any excuse for going easy on Biden/Harris, if there ever was.
The shamelessness of the far left, who continued to double down after sabotaging the American electorate and the future, quite possibly, of global stability… Quite frankly, is astonishing to me.
Hmm but I was told that Harris wouldn’t check every box on my list. How can I possibly make a thoughtful decision between not getting everything I wanted and getting nothing?
/S
Edit: what is this I see through this thread? Users downplaying how Democrats are different from Republicans in a post about how Republicans are gonna be worse than Democrats?
My, I might start to think that’s a bad angle…
Nothing wrong with pro-Palestinian protesters unless they are not aimed at the Israeli government but instead are simply anti semitic and condemn all Jews. There is a difference between a government and people who just happen to be Jewish
