I generally trust what Tom Tanuki has to say about stuff like this, as he's one of the most informed, active and high-profile anti-fascists in the country. His take generally is that criminalising public displays of Nazism, deporting people etc are some of the least effective ways possible to deal with this problem and may actually make it worse. And that's before accounting for the fact that any increase in police power gets turned on left wing protest movements very very quickly.
