Wretched Priorities

[This sure isn’t how I’d like my tax dollars to be used.]
Speaking of Rümeysa Öztürk, recent testimony from Homeland Security agents confirmed that prior to being snatched off the street, she was not informed her visa had been revoked:

When asked by attorney Michael Tremonte if there had been a decision made by top officials to keep Ozturk’s visa’s revocation a secret from her, Cunningham responded: “We did not plan on alerting her to the fact that her visa had been revoked.”

As well, it seems the op-ed Öztürk co-authored last year was indeed the sole reason for her imbecilic visa revocation:

Cunningham testified that he received an email which included a memo from the Department of State as an attachment, which said that Ozturk’s visa had been revoked. The email also included a copy of an op-ed Ozturk co-wrote in the student newspaper calling on Tufts to divest from companies with ties to Israel.

…

When questioned about the op-ed Ozturk co-wrote, Cunningham said he did not see anything in the piece that indicated evidence of a crime.

This arrest absolutely stinks to high heaven, as do similar arrests of students like Mahmoud Khalil.
