A student at Tufts University with a legal student visa was picked up by ICE. Tufts is in Massachusetts, but she's been transferred to a holding facility in Louisiana.
She was taken because she wrote an op-ed in the student paper saying that school administrators should honor the vote of the Tufts Community Union Senate demanding that the school acknowledge and condemn Israel's ongoing genocide of the Palestinians.
Here is her editorial:

In what's becoming a typical move, her claim for an end to the violence has been dishonestly interpreted as "support for Hamas." Though if you read the editorial you can see she doesn't mention Hamas and is not supporting any kind of violence. She is not the only person to be detained and punished for saying that mass murder is bad, though her abduction was particularly scary, since she was snatched off the street by a group of men in plain clothes.
It should come as no surprise that the mechanism Trump touted as protecting us from illegal aliens is now being used to silence legal aliens who oppose violent Zionism.
