"The US is now only giving migrants 12 hours to decide whether they want to contest under the wartime authority, Alien Enemies Act, down from 24 hours. The government attempted to seal the document but judge just unsealed it."
-V Gonzalez
"Total rejection of the #SCOTUS decision. Utterly absurd with their entire lives in the balance, the admin gives them just a day to get a lawyer and file a petition."

"The judge, Landya B. McCafferty, said that the administration had not provided an adequately detailed definition of “diversity, equity and inclusion,” and that its policy threatened to restrict free speech in the classroom while overstepping the executive branch’s legal authority over local schools."
While the abduction and attempts to deport every foreign student who participated in anti-genocide protests on American campuses are all important stories, I'm genuinely surprised Trump's targeting of Rumeysa Ozturk hasn't become a flashpoint in this larger story, the way the Abrego Garcia abduction has in the trafficking migrants to a torture prison in El Salvador scandal.
Frankly, demonizing anti-genocide protestors is a bipartisan sport in the American establishment, but the Ozturk abduction is unique in that she never participated in a protest; the regime is detaining and attempting to deport Ozturk because she wrote an op-ed calling for Tufts University to divest from Israel while it conducts a genocide, and the wrong people noticed. Specifically Canary Mission, a doxing group that specializes in harassing anti-genocide protestors in multiple Pig Empire nations. Soon after the group accused Ozturk of antisemitic activities; again, for writing an op-ed calling on Tufts to divest from Israel, she was snatched off the street by masked ICE agents in a video half the country watched and shared online.
This transcript of a recent interview with one of Ozturk's lawyers touched on the subject of the Trump regime obtaining target lists from an anonymous doxing group with unclear funding, and provides an update on Ozturk's legal fight; which appears to be going about as well as can be expected because all of this is fascist Calvinball bullshit designed to silence dissent and protect a genocide being conducted by an American client state.

“The Doxxing-to-Deportation Pipeline”: Update on Abduction & Jailing of Tufts Student Rümeysa Öztürk
"JUAN GONZÁLEZ: And could you talk about the role of Canary Mission and others like it in, essentially, identifying for the government people that they should be deporting?
MUDASSAR TOPPA: Yeah, and, you know, I think at this point there’s been a clear connection that we can draw — right? — from the doxxing organizations, the pro-Israeli doxxing organizations. And there is a clear doxxing-to-deportation pipeline that’s taking place.
And in Ms. Öztürk’s case, it’s even more apparent, because Ms. Öztürk was not a known organizer or advocate for any cause, really. And Ms. Öztürk’s sole sort of publicly identifiable association to the movement against the genocide and the movement for Palestinian human rights was this co-authored op-ed in her school newspaper that was really just asking the university to respect the wishes and the vote of the student Senate. And, you know, all of the sudden, in February of 2025, almost a year after she’s written — she’s co-written this op-ed, Canary Mission publishes a page on her, doxxing her and alleging that she’s engaged in antisemitic behavior because of this co-authored op-ed. And less than a month later, she’s abducted by ICE.
And so, it’s very chilling that the government seems to be taking their marching orders from these private doxxing organizations with mysterious funding and backing. And I think it underscores why the government’s actions are simply unconscionable."
Here's what GOP-appt judges have said about Trump's actions:
“A path of perfect lawlessness."
"It's hard to fathom a more straightforward display of arbitrary & capricious actions."
A “brazen” example of “retaliation.”
Trump has gone to XTRY lengths to test the limits of his power +even done transparently illegal things in hopes: SC will change its precedents.
Judges: called the admin’s actions as blatantly illegal, lawless & dangerous to #democracy.
