The Trump administration is reportedly exploring unprecedented legal avenues to deport U.S. citizens, particularly those labeled as violent repeat offenders.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed the administration is investigating whether such deportations would be legally permissible. This comes alongside a broader crackdown on immigration, including plans to fine undocumented migrants up to $998 per day and seize property from those who defy deportation orders. Critics, including Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, have raised alarms about the legality and human rights implications of these measures.
The proposal to deport citizens has sparked widespread concern over constitutional rights and due process.

If the government thinks it can start deporting actual citizens, we've officially crossed into full-blown authoritarian lunacy—this is exactly why power needs limits.

Trump admin plans daily fines, property seizure for migrants defying deportation orders
In a major escalation of its immigration enforcement strategy, the Trump administration is preparing to fine undocumented migrants under final deportation orders up to $998 per day if they fail to leave the United States.

This is straight-up authoritarian—deporting U.S. citizens completely shreds the Constitution and shows how far the right is willing to go to push their anti-immigrant agenda.
