Another story that must be told: An ICE agent grabbed Merwil Gutiérrez. One of his fellow agents said, “No, he’s not the one.” Merwil Gutiérrez is a 19-year-old asylum applicant who lives in the Bronx. He was the “wrong one.” ICE wasn’t there looking for him. “Take him anyway,” came the reply.

You might ask why I've been so relentlessly negative about the Trump tariffs. It’s not personal—unless you count my deep, personal hatred of bad economics, incoherent policy, and self-inflicted economic wounds which also undermine our foreign policy goals.

You can have legal status here and be disappeared with no recourse? Including graduate students? There is so much stuff happening that is awful, but nothing touches this issue. It is really the ONLY news. Why are we all still doing regular things right now?

If President Trump can wrongly deport a Maryland father to a prison in El Salvador and then defy a 9-0 Supreme Court order to facilitate bringing him home, who’s next? This threatens the rights and freedoms of everyone in the United States.

Today, Mohsen Mahdawi, a legal resident of Vermont, walked into an immigration office to complete a final step for citizenship. Instead, he was arrested by plain-clothed, armed individuals with faces covered. This is immoral, inhumane, and illegal. He must receive due process and be released.

Even if FY26 reverses this, it will cost more than $92B to undo. No amount of money will bring back the expertise or multi-year medical studies destroyed. You don't just flip a switch and science, aid programs, & international goodwill restarts. The things he has broken will remain broken for years.

I've already had two federal grants terminated and face a 33% pay cut due to future terminations. It's painful, but not as painful as the conversations I'm having every day with brilliant trainees in graduate school and postdoctoral positions who see little future for themselves in US science.
