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The Trump administration alleges she supported Hamas, citing unverified intelligence, after her student visa was revoked.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

      You mean like the protest voters and non voters were before the election when everyone with a brain tried to warn them that this was going to happen?

      Becasue I don’t recall a whole lot of coalition building there. Just reactionary outrage.

        the people who didn’t vote were all democrats; aka the non-coalition building type of voters so expecting them to do anything other than not voting was unrealistic.

            Go check the vote counts; the leftists justifiably calling Biden “genocide Joe” remained the same as it always has, excluding Obama, (as did the Republicans’ vote counts also did). the Democrat vote counts took a sizeable dip in this election.

            Democrats aren’t even coalition building w their fellow Democrats anymore and blue-maga takes like these explain why and it’s going to keep getting worse until you stop drinking the Kool aid.
