WBUR: Tufts PhD student taken into federal custody, lawyer and university say

"...A year ago, Ozturk co-authored an opinion piece published in the Tufts student newspaper that criticized the university’s response to student efforts demanding the school disclose and sever its relationships with companies that held ties to Israel.....It's unknown if federal agents chose to detain Ozturk over her activism or any protest activity."

#TheCryptocalypseChronicles: El Salvador's Gulag Cryptopelago (new, spicier title)

#ElSalvador's in the news a lot right now because the Trump administration shipped a few hundred people off to that country's incredibly dangerous new mega prison, #CECOT.

What seems to have gone unnoticed in all the reporting, however, is Salvadoran dictator #NayibBukele's outsized role in the world of cryptocurrency and through that his direct connections to the Trump administration via Commerce Secretary #HowardLutnick and #Tether.

Retoots appreciated.

Dear legacy media, especially in the US,

please stop referring to the destination for President Donald Trump's extraordinary rendition of hundreds of individuals rounded up in America by #ICE as "a super-max prison" in El Salvador.

Prisons are places where convicted criminals are incarcerated following due process conducted at a fair and just criminal trial.

Call it what it is - "a Concentration Camp."

‘I am a political prisoner’: Mahmoud Khalil says he’s being targeted for political beliefs.

'Palestinian activist and green card holder speaks out from Louisiana immigration detention for first time"
The Trump administration, he said, “is targeting me as part of a broader strategy to suppress dissent”, warning that “visa-holders, green-card carriers and citizens alike will all be targeted for their political beliefs.”

#Boasberg then asks how many people are subject to the proclamation & how many people are currently in #ICE custody.

#DOJ says they don't have it. #ACLU also says they don't have it, & points out that the proclamation is vague enough that it's hard for anyone to figure out who is subject.

Like #russia, the #US is no longer safe for tourists. In just the last two weeks, US authorities have detained two individuals: #Welsh citizen Becky Burke and Fabian Schmidt, a #German national who has been a US permanent resident since 2008.

Burke was held in a "#prison-like" #ICE processing center, while Schmidt was "violently interrogated."

Burke stated, "They keep saying in all their booklets that this is not a prison. It's hard to distinguish from my conception of a prison."

“'Any planes that are going to take off or are in the air need to be returned to the United States,' Judge Boasberg ordered from the bench.

That did not happen. Instead, planes that were in the air landed in El Salvador, where hundreds of asylum seekers were turned over to President Nayib Bukele, a brutal authoritarian who calls himself the 'world’s coolest dictator.'"

Law and Chaos · Trump Says Court Orders Don't Count In An Airplane. Also ... GANGS!By Andrew Torrez
Continued thread

"ICE is already detaining green card holders: Not just Mahmoud Khalil, but also German-born New Hampshire resident Fabian Schmidt, who has had a green card since 2008 and was detained at Logan airport in Boston over a decade-old marijuana misdemeanor, then 'violently interrogated' by ICE agents trying to get him to voluntarily give up his green card."
