It's supposed to be legal to oppose Trump and support Palestine. We no longer have a guarantee of free speech.

Social Media. If you have a list, it can crosscheck posts flagging items for whatever you are looking for.

If i am right, won't just be anti-Palestine posts. They will go after anti-Trump posts. I have notices a number of Asian student visas being cancelled. They could be pro-Palestine, but more likely anti-Trump.

I'm sure Elon sold Trump on automating the fucking United States of America complete AI automation of everything and then Trump could take all the money and line his pockets and give it away to his rich friends .,.isn't it obvious?

After all REAL Americans are white, speak American only, buy stuff that has been "Made in in the USA," wear silly red caps, and get all teary when they hear the national anthem or mumble the Pledge of Allegiance.

Student visa holders are easily found, can be easily grabbed and deported. They bump the deportation numbers.

Tourists entering the US are easily found, and can easily be grabbed and deported. They bump the deportation numbers.

Immigrants with protected statuses who are regularly reporting to ICE are easily found, and can be easily grabbed and deported. They bump the deportation numbers.

He can't easily find and deport the promised numbers if his focus is limited to dangerous criminals, who are also generally not so easy to find - aside from those already sitting in jail.
