Worth recalling that after Charlie Kirk's assassination, Trump and the administration threatened to unleash a broad persecution campaign directed at the left. A big tool they have at their disposal is immigration law, which can be weaponized in all kinds of malicious ways. With @swin24.bsky.social:
SCOOP: The Trump administration may revoke the visas of critics of Elon Musk's Twitter.
The move would mark one of the admin's first attempts to revoke the visas of people they deem to be engaging in the “censorship” of Americans.
