Donald Trump just said the quiet part out loud.
At a recent rally, the former president suggested deporting U.S. citizens he deems "un-American." Not undocumented immigrants — actual U.S. citizens.
⚖️ That’s not just unconstitutional. That’s authoritarian.
Today on The Josh Lafazan Show, we’re breaking down:
🔴 Every time Trump has floated this illegal threat
📜 What the Constitution and U.S. law actually say
🚨 Why this isn’t just dangerous rhetoric — it’s a red flag
🏛️ What Congress must do to stop this authoritarian drift
Let’s dive in. 👇
🟥 “Maybe They Need to Go Back” — Trump’s Chilling Rally Comment
At a packed rally, Trump said:
“We have people who are born here, but they’re not Americans in spirit. Maybe they need to go back.”
He even suggested that citizenship can be “looked at” — referring to protesters and critics. That’s not policy — that’s a constitutional crisis in the making.
🧾 The 14th Amendment is crystal clear:
“All persons born or naturalized in the United States… are citizens.”
There’s no ambiguity. If you’re a citizen, you cannot be deported. Period.
🟦 This Isn’t the First Time Trump Has Threatened Citizens
This isn’t a one-time gaffe — it’s part of a long, disturbing pattern:
🔹 In 2019, he told four U.S.-born congresswomen to “go back” to other countries
🔹 In 2020, his DOJ explored revoking naturalized citizenship retroactively
🔹 In 2023, he floated a federal deportation force targeting “anchor babies” — many of them citizens
🔹 In 2025, on Truth Social, he claimed activists “don’t deserve to live here”
Each time, the threat gets bolder. More extreme. More dangerous.
🟨 The Law: Citizens CANNOT Be Deported
Let’s set the record straight:
✅ If you are born in the U.S. — you are a citizen
✅ If you are naturalized — you’re still fully protected under law
✅ You can only lose citizenship voluntarily — not because the president says so
🚫 A president CANNOT deport a citizen
🚫 A president CANNOT strip someone’s citizenship for protesting
🚫 A president CANNOT redefine who belongs in America
Trump’s idea? It’s illegal. It’s unconstitutional. And it’s fascistic.
🟧 Why Is Trump Saying This?
It’s not policy — it’s propaganda.
Trump wants to:
🔥 Stoke fear
⚖️ Blur the line between legal and illegal
🪧 Criminalize dissent
👑 Centralize power in the hands of one man
It’s the same playbook behind:
📌 The Muslim Ban
📌 Calls to end birthright citizenship
📌 Anti-immigrant raids and mass detention camps
Now, he’s escalating it to target Americans themselves.
🟩 What Congress Must Do NOW
Congress can’t afford to stay silent. Here’s what lawmakers must do:
🔹 Reaffirm that citizenship is untouchable
🔹 Pass laws banning executive overreach in immigration enforcement
🔹 Demand oversight of DHS and ICE to prevent abuse
🔹 Investigate any attempts to target Americans for their political beliefs
🛑 This is about more than immigration. It’s about whether any of us are safe from abuse of power.
🟦 The Bigger Picture
Here’s the terrifying truth:
⚠️ Trump wants to decide who’s “American enough”
⚠️ He’s testing how far he can go — and how quiet Congress will stay
⚠️ And if we normalize this rhetoric, we’re one step closer to dictatorship
Today it’s immigrants. Tomorrow, it could be you.
🎙 [FINAL THOUGHT – JOSH TO CAMERA]
We are at a crossroads.
We either defend the Constitution — or we let one man tear it apart.
Donald Trump just threatened to deport U.S. citizens. Not because of any crime — but because he disagrees with them.
👎 That’s not democracy. That’s tyranny.
It’s time for Congress — and the American people — to draw a red line.
🗣 SOUND OFF IN THE COMMENTS:
❓ Should Trump be held accountable for this rhetoric?
❓ Can Congress step in and protect American citizenship?
❓ How close are we to losing the freedoms we take for granted?
