Harris,
Less than one month after ICE agents arrested, detained, and threatened to deport Palestinian activist and Columbia University graduate Mahmoud Khalil for protesting the genocide in Gaza, they did it again.
This week, plain clothes agents kidnapped Tufts University PhD student Runeysa Ozturk off the streets, put her in an unmarked vehicle, and then transported her to an ICE detention center in Louisiana.
Just like with Mahmoud, there are no criminal charges filed against Runeysa: Trump's Secretary of State Marco Rubio says they revoked her visa and plan on deporting her to Turkey for her pro-Palestinian activism. In other words, for writing an op-ed in the college newspaper criticizing her university's response to pro-Palestinian student activism.
Rubio claimed he's now revoked more than 300 visas from international students and threatened to do it again and again.
Fascism is here, Harris. Under this administration, there is no freedom of speech. If Trump's administration can deploy their American Gestapo to criminalize, round up, and deport these innocent students for their political viewpoints, they can do it to any of us.
In solidarity,
Justice Democrats
