Well now it’s official. The dossier ICE relied on to abduct, imprison and seek to deport Rümeysa Öztürk includes her op-ed objecting to Israel’s war in Gaza, and not much else.
Unsurprising, but absolutely disgusting.

With this new bill, Trump and his MAGA team are building a heavily armed, masked, unaccountable army of ICE agents & contractors, loyal to him, whose job is to grab people who are both illegally and legally in the country, put them in detention camps and eventually deport them. What can go wrong?!?
