Abduction by DHS of Tufts University student Rumeysa Ozturk is horrifying

To: Sen. Merkley, Rep. Bonamici, Sen. Wyden

From: A constituent in Seaside, OR

March 27

I’m writing about the abduction by federal agents of Rumeysa Ozturk, a Turkish PHD student at Tufts University. DHS is saying that they picked her up because she "engaged in activities in support of Hamas." As far as anyone knows all she did is co-author an editorial. Is that no longer allowed? University campuses should be a place for the free and open exchange of ideas. The fact that someone can just be disappeared for voicing an idea the Trump administration disagrees with is absolutely horrifying.
