I genuinely think boycotting the World Cup is some of the strongest leverage the Europeans have.

ICE detain yet another minor child—chase him down his own street and tackle him to pavement.
"I am legal! I am legal!" he cries over and over in Spanish.
Agent pins the boy down in snow—he desperately tries to keep his exposed hands from freezing at -25°F wind chill temperature.

I feel like everyone who followed this story carefully knew that this was the role Canary Mission was playing but didn't have definitive proof yet. It's a weird feeling to just finally have something to point to.
A "subject profile" of Öztürk that was prepared "for/in collaboration with HSI Office of Intelligence" cites her profile on the Israeli-based website Canary Mission on the third page.
It also includes her op-ed.

Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed.

The attempt to detain these defendants without bail is an embarrassment. The AUSAs advancing the argument should face professional and social annihilation appropriate to Gestapo stooges.
