Found on reddit. I'm told the reason for their visit is to intimidate the Haitian immigrant community there.

the “paradox of tolerance”, really…
the philosophical issue is: who would decide what’s free speech and what’s not?
e.g. i know someone who was charged with “starting a riot” for staying at a protest camp, protesting the genocide in Palestine….
there was nothing close to a riot.
similar protestors have been called antisemitic and supporters of Hamas… by Kamala Harris….
that could easily be flipped to, “oh they’re intolerant of jewish people, not free speech, arrest them all” by some judge or cop somewhere….
…
the SPLC has done a good job of suing hate groups when individuals act on their hateful rhetoric… but the very freedom to speak and say “things should be like this!”, must be held as sacrosanct…
~plus, we can follow them home if they speak in public.~
