They just snatched another person last night.

They just snatched another person last night.

A Turkish national here fully legally not just attending but *working* at Tufts, grabbed offsite, nobody knows where Rumeysa Ozturk is. There is footage of her being taken but no information from ICE on her whereabouts or any stops made along the way to where she might be right now.

This happened in Portland OR in 2020 when they were grabbing dozens of people off the streets except they took pictures of everyone's ID and fingerprinted them all before releasing them. Summer is coming and they've turned focus onto Oregon with at least two of the EO (mail in voting termination and natural resource exploitation); my fear is that they're going to use those lists in an attempt to sweep Portland.

Can more people file FOIA requests on the numbers of people they collected personal data on back in 2020 so they can be warned? At the least the total numbers of people they kidnapped, albeit temporary (just long enough to get their pictures, etc), can be made accessible to people who may be impacted as well as other uninformed people who might care about such things.

Any socially conscious lawyers reading this subreddit - it would be pretty cool to get some advice or maybe they can sort of wander off and quietly submit the document that I have no idea how to submit and even if I did I got no money and/or connections to fight the federal government.

They're only "snatching" people that are here ILLEGALLY. If they didn't wanna get deported, they should've took care of their paperwork. THEY'RE BREAKING THE LAW. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT WE VOTED FOR!! Cry about it. 🤷‍♂️

Due process still exists, and if you're holding someone without that when they've committed no violent crime, it's called inhumane, but as you said, that's what you voted for.

Read the Constitution. Any person on US soil is guaranteed due process. Even enemy combatants get due process. It's why Bush took the yo Guantamino because if brought to the US, they would have to have a trial.
