During his recent joint address to Congress, President Donald Trump declared that he had “brought free speech back to America” in the early weeks of his return to the White House. However, First Amendment advocates argue that free expression is under unprecedented attack in his second term.

Trump’s administration has taken multiple actions critics say are aimed at suppressing dissent, including threats to investigate Democratic lawmakers for criticizing conservatives, revoking federal grants containing language the administration opposes, sanctioning law firms representing Trump’s political opponents, and arresting the organizer of student protests that the president has condemned as “anti-Semitic, anti-American.”

“Your right to speak now depends on whether the administration approves of your views, which is no free speech at all,” said Will Creeley, legal director at the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, a nonpartisan First Amendment advocacy group.

On Monday, Trump personally took credit for the immigration arrest of Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University graduate student and legal permanent U.S. resident who helped lead pro-Palestinian protests on campus. Khalil’s legal team argues that his arrest is a direct effort to silence political activism and “discriminate against particular viewpoints.”

Meanwhile, Secretary of State Marco Rubio defended the administration’s stance, stating Wednesday that the government will revoke visas or green cards of Hamas supporters. The U.S. has designated Hamas as a terrorist organization. Rubio dismissed concerns that the policy infringes on free speech rights.

“This is not about free speech,” Rubio told reporters in Shannon, Ireland. “This is about people who don’t have a right to be in the United States in the first place. No one has a right to a student visa. No one has a right to a green card.”

Earlier this week, a federal judge intervened in Khalil’s case, ordering immigration authorities not to deport him while legal proceedings continue.
