The White House is considering offering political asylum to British “thought criminals”, The Telegraph understands.
Donald Trump’s administration is exploring the possibility of extending refugee status to free speech activists who have been prosecuted for their words or for taking part in silent protests outside abortion clinics.
The censoring of pro-life campaigners Livia Tossici-Bolt and Adam Smith Connor raised particular concerns among the president’s key allies.
“There are some people inside the administration that are actively scouting for cases,” a source with knowledge of the decision making said.
The intervention is the latest sign of Mr Trump’s willingness to intervene in domestic British affairs amid growing transatlantic concern over the protection of freedom of speech.
A source close to the administration described the plan as “serious” and that while it was not top of the list of concerns, officials are “beginning to consider” offering political asylum to British citizens accused of so-called thought crimes.
The White House is considering offering visas to gender critical activists, immigration critics and pro-abortion campaigners, The Telegraph understands.
Mr Trump has already set a precedent for political asylum cases by granting refugee status to white South Africans who claimed they face racial discrimination in their home country.
Despite halting nearly all other refugee admissions shortly after returning to office in January, the president swiftly organised a scheme to allow in Afrikaners, the descendants of mostly Dutch settlers, who claim they have been denied jobs and targeted with violence because of their race.
The decision was largely influenced by Elon Musk, who has attacked the Government and British police forces for arresting individuals over offences, comments and so-called thought crimes.

Same, because they're apt to be white and we should be encouraging and facilitating increasing white immigration to America.
And yes, I meant exactly what I wrote.
Definitely. We’ll even trade 3 for 1. 3 ragheads for one free thinking Brit.
You mean the U.S. asylum rules will no longer prioritize guys who are just tired of living in huts?
It’s time we officially acknowledge the UK is a hostile power.
There was that young male Irish teacher who would not use the pronouns, and lost his job and I think was jailed.
The young mother of a 2-year-old jailed for saying there are only 2 sexes.
The Jewish man arrested for wearing a yarmulke in public, because it offended muslims.
Of course, Tommy Robinson.
On and on. It’s nuts over there.
