No justification, no warrant, no reason, just a plain abduction by the government.

Imagine if Biden started abducting MAGAs for no reason...

Just wow 😮

This! Why are they not in uniform? If some random men in masks approached me and tried to cuff me and force me into a car, I'd be screaming for my life. And if she had, they'd try to say she resisted arrest. This is insanity.

Is this the country you want to live in, conservatives? People getting kidnapped in the street by masked men allegedly working for the government? For the crime of voicing and opinion? Only you all can fix this mess you've made. Speak up. Contact your reps. Stop pretending this is normal.

You've never met a grad student? Also, college is not high school. People can and do attend at any age.

Thought this story deserved its own thread. Grad student whose only apparent connection to pro-Palestinian speech was co-writing an op ed last year calling on the President to consider student Senate resolutions passed about the Israel-Gaza conflict. She was put into an unmarked car by multiple masked people who show no id.

A neighbor's commentary:

When shown a video of the arrest, Ferraro became visibly emotional.

“It’s too much,” he said. “I don’t need to live in a place where people get plucked off the street like that, just walking around. That’s bananas. That’s just insane.”

“I don’t care what she was doing,” Ferraro continued. “You can’t just nab people off the sidewalk and throw them in a car and take them away, and expect anyone who’s seen it to be alright afterwards.”

The objection is not the arrest but that he had to see the arrest?

Sorry - this student visa and green card holder round up is not going to get much popular support to keep them here.

If you travel in many places of the world and actually used text messaging instead of an encrypted app and said something offensive or inappropriate on text men with guns show up and hopefully you get taken to airport.
Most likely thrown in jail.

Deporting students involved in pro-hamas demonstrations is not a problem for most Americans.

Just get grabbed off the street by the state. Worst than McCarthy era.

Where are you Chuck Schumer?

He's busy bloviating about Israel.

IOW, he'd support this action by the Trump regime.

Well of course since it targets pro-Palestinian activists.

Except that they were not involved in “pro Hamas” demonstrations. Stop your lies.

MAGAs cheer when they see immigrants taken off the streets. They make me sick. I guess we should carry mace in our hands when out. It won’t be long before ICE has copycats taking women or girls off the street.

He’s bringing back the McCarthy area too. Anyone who doesn’t support him he calls a communist and he wants to rid the country of communism. How long can this last. It’s surreal.

How do you think Dear MI feels?

Hitler's SS. Just picking people up off the street for their "crimes."

The Trump administration is making an example of these foreign students who are here on student visas. They are trying to quell dissent and scare the rest of us. "See? I can arrest any one of you, put you in detention, charge you with no crime, and let you rot there." says Herr Trump. "Don't mess with me."

Stop lying.

She did NOTHING that's pro-Hamas.

You are lying.

She exercised her first amendment right to speak. You have that right too. Do you want it taken away from you?

Maybe someone should arrest you for lying on a public forum. Would that be OK with you?
