Freedom of speech and the right of due process - unless you "create a ruckus," then you'll be disappeared by masked agents of the state. Fundamental constitutional protections - officially suspended for foreign nationals. They'll remain in place for US citizens until the regime decides otherwise.

It bears repeating and repeating ad nauseum: If you withheld support from Biden/Harris as a means of advocating for Palestinian nationhood and the aspirations of the Palestinian people and you did not see this moment coming: You are a performative, sloganeering and politically incompetent rube.
