Judge Tells New Citizens They Can Leave The U.S. If They Dont Like Donald Trump
This judge way over-stepped his boundaries. He is essentially telling these new citizens that their first amendment rights are null and void. He is threatening them IMHO!

He also criticized demonstrators who have been protesting Trump since he was elected on Nov. 8.
