Summary

Rumeysa Ozturk, a Turkish student at Tufts University, was detained in Somerville, MA, by masked agents claiming to be police, without charges or transparency.

The Trump administration alleges she supported Hamas, citing unverified intelligence, after her student visa was revoked.

Der Spiegel linked her detention to pro-Palestinian advocacy, including an opinion piece urging divestment from Israel.

The incident sparked outrage, highlighting long-standing surveillance and detainment of Muslim Americans under national security pretenses.

Civil liberties advocates warn of increasing government overreach targeting minority communities.

    It’s OK you didn’t get it.
    Good guy with a gun is a myth, and is never there.
    Still a bunch of masked men terrorizing a woman, should be an obvious target in the worlds most heavily armed country.
    But even in this situation the good guy with a gun is absent, and the guns don’t help against government overreach, which is the purpose of excuse for the 2nd amendment.
