The article explores the critical role of free speech in American democracy, highlighting the stark contrast between the U.S.'s historical commitment to this principle and recent actions taken by the Trump administration. It details incidents where immigration agents arrested students for protesting, emphasizing that such actions undermine the foundational ideals of free political expression. The lack of public outrage suggests a troubling acceptance of these measures, especially given that the arrested individuals are predominantly foreign students, raising alarms about the future of free speech in America.
The concept of free speech is central to American democracy, but recent arrests of protesting students mark a startling deviation from this principle.
The arrests of foreign students for their lawful political speech in the US resemble actions observed in more repressive regimes across the globe.
