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.

Well , if I had been a founder , I would not have granted rights to people who are in this country illegally.

You were born in the wrong century. Remember this from high school:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

That's from the preamble to the Declaration of Independence. I added the emphasis on "all."

The very fact that they are here makes each one of them a criminal! I don’t care for criminals!

And they, like you, are endowed with inalienable rights: life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And these are green card holders, not in violation of any laws.
