"Some officials say U.S. citizens who criticize administration policies could be charged with crimes, based on the notion that they're aiding terrorists and criminals.
'You have to ask yourself, are they technically aiding and abetting them, because aiding and abetting criminals and terrorists is a crime,' White House senior director for counterterrorism Seb Gorka said in an interview with Newsmax.
Trump's team also has questioned the legality of civic groups providing immigrants with 'know your rights' trainings on how to respond to federal agents. Border czar Tom Homan suggested that such seminars help people evade law enforcement.
'They're trying to use terrorism laws to attack people for their speech and for their political activism, and that's an authoritarian effort,' said Kerri Talbot, co-executive director of the Immigration Hub, an immigration advocacy group."

Trump’s assault on America is real, it's happening right now Here it's laid out in crystalline form by the odious and unfit fascist S. Gorka, who wore a Hungarian Nazi medal to Trump’s first inaugural. He claims that those who don’t support Trump’s deportation policy are “on the side of terrorists.”
As MAGAts whistles Dixie and continue to praise the authoritarian Felon president as the greatest president ever.
The efforts of this administration to criminalize the free speech of those who disagree with its disasterous and criminal policies is fascism in the wide open.
It will be interesting seeing how the scotus comes down on this if and when it's challenged should the administration act on its desires.
Sorry -FJ, I read as much of the PDF report you linked to as I had time for and could not find anything that suggested that the Biden administration would imprison any American protesters against his administration.
I'm not going to publish your comments.
The views from Seb Gorka, while disgusting are not some isolated happening. Many on the right, the MAGAverse if you will, have already defined us left of center folks.
As lunatics.
That definition is one that is borne of the belief that believers in liberal democracy, people who believe in human rights, realistic negotiations between political parties and the reality of connected global markets as good for world and by extension, American peace and prosperity, are bad for our country
Is it any wonder the Gorka’s of the world, and his fans, would want to round us up and ship us all to the world’s gulags?
Here are a collection of their views, including from one who posts here regularly...
"LEFTWINGERS ARE LUNATICS. Do Leftwingers just not LISTEN? WILL WE HAVE TO LOSE OUR ECONOMY DUE TO HAVING LET MILLIONS OF ILLEGALS IN AND PAYING SO MUCH FOR THEM? WILL WE LOSE OUR FINANCIAL STABILITY, AS PREDICTED, BECAUSE BUSINESSES ARE CLOSING DUE TO HIGH TAXES AND RESTRICTIONS AND RULES THAT NO BUSINESS SHOULD BE EXPOSED TO?"
"Yes, they are lunatics!"
"Not all are lunatics. Many on the left are just misguided. Maybe a mild case of TDS even. Then there are the loonies."
"Lunatic isn’t too strong a word, actually. Progressives do howl at the moon — and I’ll say it’s an illness that affects more than a handful. "
Let me respond to the uninformed word salad I provided in my previous comment...
Believe me, we listen. We read and hear you and others like you everyday. It's chilling really.
How many different ways does the data have to be shown, the facts displayed for folks on the right to accept that immigrants, those who came legally and those who came illegally, are a net plus for America? They all add taxes to the common pot, many clean yours and our homes, they cut your lawns, they pour your concrete and probably helped build your home. And yes, timmigrants, both legal and illegal, pay money into the social security fund from where your retirement check comes each month.
How do we know all this? How do we know they are not stealing American jobs and costing us money? Because we have data showing it to be true. Ask yourself this... if the data is not true, as I am sure you'd assert, why has the Trump Admin not produced the data to refute it? Is it even possible that such data does not exist, that what us “lunatics” assert is true and accurate?
Look, even you have stated you and others out west know plenty of illegal immigrants who are quiet, law abiding people. Aren’t those the kind of ppl us "lunatics" should want in our country?
As for the financial ruin of business, right now US business is on the precipice of disaster. Yesterday top US CEO's were at the White House for an emergency meeting with the president. Was it to cheer his "business friendly" policies?
Not. At. All.
They went to tell the president that his policies were bad for US business, America and the world. They went to tell him that he was plunging us close to a worldwide depression. They went to tell him that unless he changed course, shelves in their businesses, some of the largest in the world, would be empty by summer.
Again, ask yourself this... Was there ever such a meeting during the Biden Admin? The answer of course is no. Not because they are all lefty “lunatic" business leaders, but rather because while they may not have supported all of his policies, they knew Biden was not tanking the entire world economy and there was stability in the market. Something business leaders not only crave, but need to be successful.
The language FOTUS admin uses, so over the top, so full of innuendo and so freaking fact free.
Shaw, you know how our many faced troll doesn't have the facts? Because if they did their post would be four or five sentences instead of a linked PDF with more pages of rhetoric than sense. I salute the work you do so we don't have to.
Based on the news stories this morning the Felon in charge is having tantrums therefore so must all of his minions be having tantrums. If they were just yelling at the clouds I wouldn't mind so much but because they control the levers of power for one of the biggest militaries on the planet? Yeah, I'm observing and keeping my head down. When narcissists and their allies get like this I get worried, and triggered. The humans in charge in the cult were like this; i.e. mean girls on steroids, and no good ever came of this sort of mood (meaning physical harm which is why trigger/keeping my head down).
Like the "surprise" the FOTUS planned for Easter Sunday but then backed out of, I'm getting that same ramp up feeling. As Les reminds us, those who lead with their ego walk into actions they can't take back (although I'm not sure ego would ever admit to making any missteps. They are after all, perfectly EGO).
Added thought - if ETTD why would Putin want to attach himself to the Felon in charge? Ah... ego.. ok... got it.
"Ego's" only "job" is in confirming the existence of a seperate "self". When one's ego is afflicted with malignant narcissism, the Felon and Putin, they become mutually supportive buds. At least until one or the other feels the other is no longer useful to them.
The big distinction? Putin is more intelligent than the Felon. But just as, or more evil, than the Felon.
