Summary
U.S. Department of Homeland Security agents detained Rumeysa Ozturk, a 30-year-old Turkish doctoral student at Tufts University, in Somerville, Massachusetts, without explanation.
A video shows masked agents handcuffing her. DHS claimed Ozturk’s visa was revoked due to alleged support for Hamas, designated a terrorist group by the U.S. Hundreds protested her detention, calling it intimidation.
A judge ordered DHS to explain the detention by Friday and barred moving her from Massachusetts, but she was listed as being held in Louisiana.
Turkish diplomats are seeking legal support.
The masks tell the whole story. People with legitimate authority do not need to wear masks. Everyone involved knew this was a criminal act and wanted to avoid being implicated.
We’re seeing a lot of masks on law enforcement and government agents these days. There’s a reason.
ICE is the American Gestapo and will disappear you to El Salvador in broad daylight for exercising your 1st Amendment rights “incorrectly”.
Why the masks? Aren’t Republicans the ones that keep bitching about how wearing a mask implicates you as a criminal agitator when it comes to people protesting? Exactly what do these brownshirt motherfuckers have to hide? It’s almost like they’re aware that they need to protect themselves from accountability when the Nuremberg style trials start.
