Deemed a communist by the US government of course, as he often criticized capitalism in his films.
He couldn’t be bullied into censoring his movies because he often owned and produced them himself  in his late career.
(films were self-censored by the major film studios until 1968, Chaplin was often producing his own.)

I love this speech from Chaplins film Monsieur Verdoux (1947), where he’s being sentenced for serial murders.

He was quite progressive for his time in the US (but not without his own issues worth criticizing...)
Hence why he was basically deported lol

“Friends have asked how I came to engender this American antagonism. My prodigious sin was, and still is, being a non¬conformist. Although I am not a Communist I refused to fall in line by hating them. This, of course, has offended many […] Secondly, I was opposed to the Committee on Un-American Activities — a dishonest phrase to begin with, elastic enough to wrap around the throat and strangle the voice of any American citizen whose honest opinion is a minority one. Thirdly, I have never attempted to become an American citizen.”
- From Charlie Chaplins autobiography
