This is the reasoning that DHS gave for abducting the student:

"Rumesya Ozturk is a Turkish national and Tufts University graduate student, granted the privilege to be in this country on a visa. DHS and ICE investigations found [b]Ozturk engaged in activities in support of Hamas, a foreign terrorist organization that relishes the killing of Americans[/b]. A visa is a privilege not a right. [b]Glorifying and supporting terrorists who kill Americans is grounds for visa issuance to be terminated.[/b] This is commonsense security."

She co-authored an OpEd. That's it. I read it. There is nothing pro-Hamas in it. Hamas is not mentioned at all. The op-ed simply asks the university administration to uphold: "3 out of 4 resolutions [passed by the Tufts Community Union Senate] demanding that the University acknowledge the Palestinian genocide, apologize for University President Sunil Kumar’s statements, disclose its investments and divest from companies with direct or indirect ties to Israel."  I myself participated in college protests in the 80s asking my university to divest from investments in South Africa, which still had apartheid. That's a crime now?

Also, what's with the reference--twice--to Hamas as "a foreign terrorist organization that [b]relishes the killing of Americans[/b]" and "terrorists who [b]kill Americans[/b]?" I thought that the mission of Hamas was to destroy the Jewish state (obviously reprehensible and unacceptable). Now, according to DHS, its mission is also to kill Americans? [/quote]

Hamas killed 40+ Americans on 10/7.[/quote]
