Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.
They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

I am definitely afraid for Ozturk's safety - here & in Turkiye
Call me when what they are, ie masked secret police.

What was her 'crime'?
Fuck these Nazis
Everybody needs to step up and help out in Florida. Do what you can please, we might be able to put the brakes on this perpetual train wreck.
wonder when we hear of people disappearing "for good"
We're going to turn into a strong nation that rivals the GDP of nations like Mozambique
Zimbabwe
Or Burundi.
Edit: it's a joke saying we're gonna be classed as a low income or "Third World" nation with very little allies globally

This foreign agency doxed her in Feb prior to her abduction.
I needed to get 3 links from Youtube with Fred Rogers talking about being neighbors [easy to find] and download an image of Mr Rogers from wikipedia [public domain enough for this usage].
They found Ms Ozturk a threat; they'll find him one, too.
The Emanets (restaurant owners in NJ) seized on 2/25 were also Turkish.

We need to stop this now!
That arrest was SOP.
The Gestapo will maybe stop vanishing people if they're met with mass armed resistance
Yeah…about that.
#nonviolent #resistance
Who are these people willingly kidnapping people off the streets of America?! 🤬
Since they're doing these things in the 'name of MAGA' now- let's get it. 🤬
Immigration injunctions
Bring back due process rights under the 14th.
Most Americans still believe they believe in a Constitutional order.
A small number of people are lawless.
I must have died and gone to hell.
Israel doesn't bother to hide genocide, the fact that they killed JFK, and doesn't bother to hide it's control of the USA.
USA should be at war with Israel. The question is why it isn't.
1. Putin
2. Netanyahu
America it seems no longer believes in free speech and is no longer the "free" country which the world once looked up to.
Where is #Rumeysa_Ozturk ❓️📢
Hätte es nie für möglich gehalten, dass ich für eine türkische Studentin in #Amerika laut sein muss, wie für entführte Menschen im #Iran.
You understand what it's fucking batshit that things are that way, right?
Think it’s time you guys exercise your right to bear arms….this is absolutely out of a horror movie at this point
Because the old saying "it could be you" is all to true in America now.
Don't care if you're GOP or Dem or Independent ... is this really what you want your country to be?
An authoritarian nightmare....The Nazi States of America if you will.
DO NOT BUY anything from ANY US company or person unless absolutely necessary--even if you live in the US.
Don't reward the US for behaving like rabid animals (even if they'd led by them.)
This is disgraceful. We are becoming a police state.
It is actually getting to be a difference about our own feelings about our own country. I am pro USA as an ideal. I am NOT pro USA as embodied in its current government.

Almost like they know their legal position is dubious.
Time to dox these nazis. No one should ever need a paycheck this badly.
Where go we now? The chasm yawns before us, ready to swallow the concept of law and Justice.
If a whole lot of people are not on the streets on April 5, then you've accepted this... and worse to come.
You've been warned.
Don’t dare go at me, I’m a 70 year old Jew who believes in Palestinian rights and loathes Netanyahu
First they came for...
Something to think about...
The state could do it maybe? But then they’ll just disappear kids in red states
The grey area is why it’s hard for judges to hold federal agencies accountable.
Just doing their jobs.
If you recognize any of them…tell their mothers.
What a terrible job. How can they live with themselves?
Hell, at this point I assume that each of these kidnappings leads directly to the nearest helicopter, plane, or convenient border to start hopping districts and make habeas claims impossible.
I'd like to file FOIA requests and it's helpful to identify people so you can instruct a federal agency where they should look for records. (John Smith's email account, etc)
Not 21st Century
The poor thing!!
They are enjoying this.
They have loathed for decades the thought that citizens should have rights. Now they finally can be the Gestapo thugs they have, at heart, always been.
This is what "qualified immunity" was training them for.
But hood also workkks, I guess
Talk about Government efficiency!
We are living in Nazi Germany around 1938. Horrible!!!!
It's been really warm here
Fascism. Stupid American style.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extrajudicial_killings_and_enforced_disappearances_in_Bangladesh
We American citizens can NOT let this happen in our name!
Vive la Révolution!
Any of us.
It’s time to choice.
Everyone that is anti Trump/MAGA is on the list. None of us are safe. USA born or not. Mark my words.
Everyone masked: for stealth, not for health.
Creepy fuckers think they are safe.
They aren't
Why are their six officers?
Doge is really fucking efficient. 🙄
They’ll come for all of us soon
Is the new
“Trust me bro”
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out
Because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist.
Call them and let them discuss it out on the streets.
you use ALL the same "methods", to send ALL the "Trump terrorist gang members" to Guantanamo... or Mars... or some hole where no one knows about them anymore!
Report this sort of activity(when it's happening) by saying, "I believe I just witnessed a potential kidnapping," & describe visuals.
Meanwhile, when recording, try to focus very clearly on license plates.
How many law enforcers?
How many cars?
How many public resources?
Is that efficient?
What does the DOGE "audit" says?
And all of these, disregarding any rule of law or fundamental human rights concerns.
Where was The Resistance? Why did no one intervene?

Government workers now have to go into the office to work but they get to conduct business through their personal phones on Signal from wherever.

This is fascism
And someone did try, in case you forgot, we already had someone take a shot at him.

crazy hot take guys.... maybe administration should calm down instead😻😻😻
and legal issues here? WTF is wrong with these hired guns??!
They wanted the white guy with the criminal record, and RAPIST.
They got him. They're HAPPY. 🇺🇲
Can't wait for this to be used to justify mask bans even though these terrorists are taking orders from ICE.
Learn from Glasgow - up with this shit we do not put ⤵️
"let our neighbours go"
"Hundreds gathered in the area, with one man crawling under the van to prevent it from moving."
where is she now? what has she done?
Not to mention the scarfs and masks
And what was with the red car with the roof rack? Uninvolved civilian? That looked confusing to me.
who is mobilizing to do that? @leahgreenberg.bsky.social the talk last night was good but how do we quickly respond to this?
Where is the place to easily pitch in when we hear?
These thugs happily welcome such an incident and it will be rolled out globe wide, showing, how "violent" "these" people are.

If you are law enforcement of any kind (including ICE) and you feel the need to wear a mask, it means *you* personally are doing evil, and you know it.
#AbolishIce
Sort of like when Obama said "We tortured some folks" and then did nothing about it.
https://www.splinter.com/ice-seeks-permission-to-destroy-records-of-sexual-assau-1798541263
A few pew pew pews might make them behave differently.
It has always been a racist fascist institution. enthusiasm in which they carry out masked gestapo tactics shows that this is simply a mask off moment that Trump emboldened and not a characteristic caused by Trump administration.
ICE has existed for less than half my life. Abolish it.
Use those stand your ground laws.
They don’t appear to be cops.
Defend yourself.
Then what?
Probably me.
Professor Vlad is training his satellite office well
When is the media gonna wake the fuq up
The violent maga thugs are just itching to hurt someone.
Disgusting
Anybody can wear hoods & masks & flash fake ID
If this happens to you start screaming at the top of their lungs
Yell Rape
Draw a crowd
Make the cops come & verify who the masked people are
no due process, no identification, just disappearing off the streets
Brutal people
Is this the government we want?
History is literally repeating itself. Just new players.
If we can catch them before they grab anyone, we can usually stop a detention.
It’s possible, but I haven’t seen any scuttlebutt that suggests that.
18 U.S.C. § 242. Section 242
They are subject to arrest and prosecution for violating rights.
Thank the Republicans and their greedy soulless hearts for all of this.
They all knew they needed a dirty Supremacist’ Court in order to be successful.
McConnell should face a firing squad for his part in the destruction of our nation. But he’d have a lot of company with him in that outcome.
We as a people have always had adversaries, it’s up to us to keep them at bay.
Greed and corruption within (mostly) the Republican Party is why this is happening.
Dangerous
Call your lawmakers
Liberty and justice for all
Everyone - ESPECIALLY WHITE AMERICAN MALE CITIZENS - if you see this happen to anyone in your vicinity, FUCKING REVOLT.
SCREAM.
THROW SHIT.
FIGHT THESE NAZIS.
DEFEND your fellow humans from these FASCIST PIGS.
#RESIST #RESIST #RESIST
Regardless, you have to do what's right!!! 💚
Yeah man fuck those morons who thought Harris and Trump were the same, I hope they feel stupid but I don't hope they get fucking kidnapped you psycho
They post FAFO comments everytime a new ICE story comes out. They outright enjoy it and say so.
They're proud to take pleasure in others suffering. I mean it, they morally are an empty husk getting dopamine off trolling.
Ghouls.
Maybe they can be abducted, in this exact same way, & taken to a cold cell, with no one knowing where, in chains, etc.,.....
No uniforms. Masked.
America?
The way to Hell!!!!
That being said, I can’t see myself being taken alive by these MAGA kidnappers.
This gestapo shit is fucking heinous. These thugs only understand one thing.
"THIS WE'LL DEFEND"
If you see this kind of abduction, scream and intervene at risk to yourself. In fact, just scream anytime you see ICE or CPB.
It probably would have worked to some extent even in the USSR, since all authoritarianism runs on people pretending they don't see what's right in front of them.
Notice how he wrestles the phone out of her hand to make sure they have access.
Read a book on German history 1933-45, you'll find this as default Gestapo tactics.
History is repeating itself, this time with nuclear warheads an bioweapons, where Zyklon-B pales in comparison.
They only wear masks on duty.
Firing government employees to find the money for this shit.
It's more I'm waiting with absolute dread for when THAT line is crossed.
I'm not doubting you, but I need receipts before I go and spread it.
I know there's been some deportations that got undone, but aside from that... no actual disappearing that I'm personally aware of.
A US citizen who's been deported can go to the US Embassy and be repatriated. It's why ICE has apologized several times for deporting a US citizen.
But one does not simply walk out of CECOT.
@velshimsnbc.bsky.social @chrislhayes.bsky.social @maddow.msnbc.com
Someone, anyone, please report this. People can’t just be disappeared and sent to jurisdictions where they get unfair hearings/ appeals. I can’t imagine her trauma from the shock. Immigrants now, citizens next.
The point of doing this in Boston and NY is that those places have people more openly speaking out. Target rich environment.
Political leanings aside (and Houston, Dallas, Austin, San Antone, and El Paso are all pretty liberal), anyone can carry a gun (or a few) without a license. In NY and Mass, not so much.
It ain't about the guns.
Besides, guns or no guns hasn't really stopped ICE in Texas or anywhere else.
Not that I'm opposed to gun ownership, I find it based and good, but let's be real. "This wouldn't happen in Texas cuz gun ownership" isn't true.
Turn the US into such an ugly sh!thole of a country that absolutely NO ONE wants to go there.
No wall required
Maybe time to do a few stagings of Death and the Maiden again.
Apple under Steve Jobs released one of the greatest ads of all time suggesting they were breaking an Orwellian future.
Apple under Tim Cook in 2025, donating a million to Trump’s inauguration fund to support an Orwellian Now
Outrageous.

We need a better word to convey the absolute evil of govt goons stealing a person.
We should normalize the community resisting these attacks by all means necessary.
"Police state nabs doctoral candidate while no one helps her"
"Tufts Community Allows Another Rendition"
Truly, we're beyond what our current vocabulary can convey. Something onamonopoeic between disappeared and Holocaustic horror?
I was in Afghanistan when that scandal broke. I knew right then we had already lost both wars.
Mebe' we just need an image rather than an a euphemism ...

"Tufts graduate student assisting ICE with Trump's deportation policy".
The people making the movies got the ideas from history books.
Spain, Italy, Russia, Germany, Argentina, Chile, China, and many other states have gone through something like this.
Tomorrow it might be you.
Get out and fight.
No, you don't get to say afterwards "oh well gee willickers ackshually I'm a cop." Nope. Doesn't work that way.

The coup started under Reagan and has methodically continued.
They knew the coup would need to be armed so they all kept their drive for all to have guns. 2nd A is like everything else these people use… for just the opposite use. To overthrow not defend our freedoms, democracy.
Back then republican was the law-and-order party. This party is a DISGRACE!
Americans need to take it to the party responsible, our rotten no good greedy corrupted Republicans.
How can anyone with an inch of common sense work for such an organisation?
It's not covered on Fox.
