Given the literal definition of deportation is removing a foreigner or noncitizen from the country, we - journalists, media orgs - should probably all stop referring to the ‘deportation’ of a 2 year old US citizen. It’s NOT a deportation.
I’m not sure what it is. A kidnapping?

As scholars, we have a responsibility to stand with those who speak out against oppression. The targeting of voices like Albanese’s is part of a broader effort to erase inconvenient truths. Politicians should support free speech and academic freedom, not suppress them. 3/4
