    That ruling is worth taking a look at:

    https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/69784731/261/american-association-of-university-professors-v-rubio/

    From page 148 the ruling begins a section titled “Justice in the Trump Era” and beginning page 155, also in that section, begins to list the ways he uses retribution including targeting free speech.

    Other quotes are:

    • “this Court finds as fact and concludes as matter of law that Secretaries Noem and Rubio and their several agents and subordinates acted in concert to misuse the sweeping powers of their respective offices to target noncitizen pro-Palestinians for deportation primarily on account of their First Amendment protected political speech”

    • “I fear President Trump believes the American people are so divided that today they will not stand up, fight for, and defend our most precious constitutional values so long as they are lulled into thinking their own personal interests are not affected. Is he correct?”
