The party of censorship suddenly cares about free speech.
The reverse is true of Republicans who want to censor or else deport left-wingers who are anti-American but who are nevertheless protected by the First Amendment to voice those noxious opinions.

Democrats have long pushed to censor conservatives, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, when, in the highest reaches of the Biden administration, government officials worked to nuke conservatives off social media platforms for their dissenting views on, among other things, the virus’s origin. House and Senate Democrats, of course, cheered on the White House’s gross overreach while long using the guise of “misinformation” and “disinformation” to quash politically inconvenient facts or narratives.
But now, in the wake of pro-Palestine activist Mahmoud Khalil’s arrest at the hands of the Trump administration, numerous high-profile Democrats have become staunch defenders of free speech, despite their long history of advocating for censorship. It’s politics, after all.
