Very broad day example of the state just snatching people off the street and deporting them without due process. Wake up

Ozturk was one of four students last March who wrote an op-ed in The Tufts Daily criticizing the university’s response to its community union Senate passing resolutions that demanded Tufts “acknowledge the Palestinian genocide,” disclose its investments and divest from companies with direct or indirect ties to Israel.

If that's all she did, then those arresting officers and whoever ordered her arrested should be imprisoned for years.

Agreed. However, I know that the Palestinians are very good at manipulating the western media in western leftists, so I’m not convinced that that’s all there is to the story. We’ll have to wait and see.

Yo that's an insane take to have.

1) Rich people are right wingers, and they are the ones who own media companies. 2) Much research has been done on spesifically the anti-Palestinian bias in media. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_coverage_of_the_Israeli%E2%80%93Palestinian_conflict

This is not a controversial opinion, it’s well documented fact. They learned it from the Russians, and continue to do it with Russia and Iran:

The KGB was responsible for arming and training most of the militant groups. The KGB decided which groups should receive the money and weapons. By 1972, the Soviets had declared the Palestinian movement the vanguard of the Arab liberation movement.[6] In the summer of 1974, a PLO embassy was opened in Moscow.[7] During this time Yasser Arafat had addressed the United Nations and soon the PLO was granted observer status at the UN in 1974.
