Count me as another ally you threw away because you can't see past your own ignorance.
LOL if you think this way then you were never an ally.

She got it backwards, they side with Trump because Russia said so.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio says "we're going to keep doing it" after arrest of Columbia activist
The Trump administration is operating on a "it's not legal/constitutionally protected until a judge says it is" and if they punish you before the judge says you don't deserve punishment, oh well!
So in this case, because we don't have any case law saying that deportation is an infringement of the 1st amendment, Trump gets to say it isn't until a judge says otherwise. At which point maybe Trump will obey the court, or (probably) not.
It's bullshit and backwards, but that's what we're up against.
What do you mean? We've always been at war with Eurasia
They're already doing this ALL the time. Even before the Trump administration, an average of one citizen gets deported every month, and if you don't have a lawyer on the outside fighting for you, you're fucked.
It's stupid... If his actual goal was to help America.
But it's fucking brilliant if his goal is to help Russia.
You might be on to something there
I'd be shocked if they even bothered to hire any this time around lol
Huh. TIL.
I guess this is exactly what the judicial branch was created for. We've got an undefined area of legality, somebody's got to sort it out, and until they do we just can't say for sure one way or the other
Has he ever given any indication that he knows what the CHIPS Act is? Because I'm 99% sure he's confusing it with CHIP Children's Health Insurance Program which iirc is part of social security and we know he's aiming to get rid of that.
IMO you're overthinking it.
The Constitution applies to all people within jurisdiction of the United States. Immigration or citizenship status isn't a factor; he absolutely has a first amendment right to say what he said.
The question you're struggling with is regarding people who aren't already within the jurisdiction, or are applying for citizenship.
All of that said, if ICE already deported him then that complicates things. Normally somebody who's been deported will be denied reentry for that reason alone; there's a waiting period (5 years iirc) if they're ever going to be allowed back in at all. But you're correct that they could also deny him reentry for his political views. It's likely that, if he's already out of the country, legally removed or not, a judge will have to order him to be allowed reentry despite both of this things.

Afaik they'd have to go through customs for the country they're trying to enter. I can't recall ever having to deal with US customs when leaving the US, it's always been the country I'm traveling to.
