US Secretary of State Marco Rubio just submitted a memo to a US federal court stating that he can deport anyone he wants regardless of whether or not they've been charged or convicted of a crime, purely on the basis of their beliefs. Thought crime. It's not hyperbole to notice that the US is fast approaching Orwell's 1984.
Rubio has worked quickly to establish his own mini-dictatorship at State. His gleeful canceling of hundreds of student visas, eager participation in disappearances and obviously illegal courtroom shenanigans, and more — it is this little weasel that, if the courts let him, get to decide which beliefs are allowed in the country in the future. So much for the First Amendment.
