1. You forgot to add that Mahmoud wasn't an "illegal alien"

he is an American citizen. ICE did this after a peaceful protest (if you even call it a protest when he was simply asking questions), to am American citizen. Dragging them out of his home and away from his family in the middle of the night.

Yes, I've been following this one. It's important. Free speech is not simply speech you agree with. For decades we've been told (and agreed) we had to put up with speech we detested because of it's hateful content, because free speech means speech whether you agree with it or not. Obviously, for trump and musk, free speech is only lawful when it agrees with whatever they're thinking at the moment. You and I are obviously not going to agree with much of anything these awful people do. Does that mean we still have free speech? I posit we no longer have that right guaranteed to us by the constitution. trump has said so, and made it so. No longer do we not have to worry about being woken in the middle of the night and dragged out of our houses. No longer is evidence against trump validating to our defense. We should all follow Mahmoud's situation, regardless of the way you feel about the I/P issue.
