One thing that’s pretty consistent in American history is elites getting away with it
imagine US political culture if Ford hadn't pardoned Nixon, and instead he went to jail

This is what government censorship actually looks like: defunding entire fields, deporting researchers, and quite effectively chilling speech that helps people understand how our information systems are being exploited and calls out powerful people and platforms for their bullshit.
For the last decade, the pervasive spread of bullshit & manipulation of online platforms have been widely recognized societal concerns. Now non US citizens studying those subjects can be labeled “censors” & denied visas or deported from the US. Censorship, indeed. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...
Exclusive: Trump administration orders enhanced vetting for applicants of H-1B visa
An internal State Department memo said that anyone involved in "censorship" of free speech should be considered for rejection.

Almost half of the people being arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Northern California have no criminal record, recent data shows.

That data also reveals that ICE arrests across Northern California have more than tripled this year.

48% of people arrested by ICE in Northern California have no criminal record
For the first time all year, arrests of immigrants without criminal convictions surpassed arrests of those with one.
