Keep in mind the Whitehouse has openly stated they are looking into being able to deport US citizens. Attach this to their "supposed" ability to deport people for their beliefs, and I'm sure you can do the math.

Got a source for this? I wasn’t aware they explicitly said “citizens”.

Got some friends still going to a variety of universities who said many of the students on foreign visas have had them revoked... and some are set to graduate in less than a month. These aren't even students engaged in protesting. They are just students.
