The Phrasing Has Got Me Concerned!

Trump was recently discussing both foreign and domestic terrorists:
...Terrorists of any kind will not be allowed to find safe harbor here at home or attack us from abroad

Our new U.S. Counterterrorism Strategy is a return to common sense and Peace through Strength. As I said after our first successful counterterrorism mission, just days after I was sworn back in office – if you hurt Americans, or are planning to hurt Americans, “We Will Find You and We Will Kill You.”
Trump's foreword in the 2026 Counterterrorism Strategy!

My immediate thought is: what about a trial?

Furthermore, CBS News reported that Deputy Assistant to the President of the United States said:
Gorka said: "We see a threat, we will respond to it, and we will crush it, whether it is the cartels, the jihadists, or violent left-wing extremists like antifa and like the transgender killers, the non-binary, the left-wing radicals who killed my friend Charlie Kirk."
They have used extrajudicial language before to describe innocent victims of violence by ICE in Minneapolis:
"We will not permit politically motivated violence in the United States from either side of the aisle, but the sad truth is the left has far more politically motivated assassinations or attempted assassinations, to its credit in recent years, not the right."
In the 2026 U.S. Counterterrorism Strategy we, the trans community, gets labeled as terrorist! In Minneapolis the DOJ was quick to label them as terrorists.

This talk of "We will kill you" sends shivers down our spines, and that is likely exactly what Trump wants. By promising to "crush" domestic groups without mentioning the legal process, the administration is effectively side-stepping the Sixth Amendment. Every person in this country has the right to a fair trial and due process; replacing a courtroom with a threat of execution isn't just scary—it's unconstitutional.
