"They are flexing their powers and normalizing their fascist behavior by going after the most vulnerable and marginalized among us.

"The pattern of detentions shows the Trump administration is targeting foreign students for their pro-Palestinian political views. The Department of Homeland Security confirmed Ozturk was detained under the same law used to detain Columbia University graduate Mahmoud Khalil, a pro-Palestinian activist."

"She stepped onto a sidewalk in Boston — and vanished into Trump’s shadow state. Masked ICE agents are now snatching dissidents off the streets like a scene from Stalin’s Russia. This isn’t speculative fiction. It’s happening right now, in America."
