Adalah lawyers have met 17 of 21 detained activists. They are in relatively stable condition. Israel is treating them as if they entered illegally, despite abducting them in international waters. They were told to either accept “voluntary deportation” or remain detained and appear before a tribunal.

For those not familiar, here's the opening paragraph in the Wikipedia entry for the term "remigration," a term which popped up in Europe over a decade ago and until very recently has not been part of the U.S. political discourse. It is NOT a neutral term.

![Remigration
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not to be confused with Return migration.
Remigration is a far-right European concept of ethnic cleansing[1] via the mass deportation or promoted voluntary return of non-white immigrants, usually including their descendants who were born in Europe, to their place of racial ancestry, often with no regard for their citizenship or legal status.[2][3] It is popular especially within the Identitarian movement.[4][5] Some proponents of remigration suggest excluding some persons with non-European background from such a mass deportation, based on a varyingly-defined degree of assimilation into European culture.[6][7][8]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2vtbmhmrwzbqcfv4we4uxzzt/bafkreiem5bj7v5q47uc6yaty7yj26kmjp5wfw3a532y34cjlwhdrhcy4fi@jpeg)
