John,

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.

[ [link removed] ]A tweet from Prem Thakker which reads "So the position of the
Trump-Vance administration - and every member of Congress unless they
explicitly say otherwise - is quite literally you do not have guaranteed
free speech rights in America if you say things they don't like. That is
the headline. Thakker is quoting a tweet from CSPAN which says "@SecRubio
on detained Turkish Student: "We revoked her visa...We gave you a visa to
come and study and get a degree not to become a social activist that tears
up our university campuses. if we've given you a visa and then you decide
to do that we're going to take it away.""

Rubio claimed he’s now revoked more than 300 visas from international
students and threatened to do it again and again.

Fascism is here, John. 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.

release of Rumeysa Ozturk and an end to these attacks on free speech.
