While there is a lot of focus on the major scandals involving Donald Trump’s administration, it’s important we don’t lose sight of what’s happening inside this country, where we are witnessing the federal government snatch people right off the streets for their political speech. The latest, most chilling example of that happened Tuesday outside of Boston, when Rumeysa Ozturk, a Ph.D. student and Fulbright scholar at Tufts University, was taken off a residential street in Somerville, Massachusetts. In clear violation of our first amendment rights, and in an illegal, authoritarian move, reminiscent of Nazi Germany, Rumeysa Ozturk has been abducted and incarcerated by the trump administration. She needs to be released IMMEDIATELY.
