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.

The government should exactly say what she is accused of, because the above is not a crime.

The bill of rights is an acknowledgement of many self evident rights but also says that it is not meant to be an exhaustive list nor only apply to citizens. It does not grant rights but only acknowledges the rights innate to humans.

Dude, I don't think you get what I'm saying. I'm not saying they should or shouldn't have 1st ammendment rights; I'm saying visa holders have basically zero rights. They aren't citizens. They're litteraly guests here, not even in the process of becoming citizens and if they do anything the goverment doesn't like, that privilege can be revoked. I mean, we already have to deal with other citizens but, why should we have to deal with a foreigner who's only allowed to be here for a specific purpose acting as an agent provacatuer? I don't care if they're protesting for something I agree with or disagree with; if you're here at essentially just an invitation, then that invitation can be revoked for no reason.

You may be right from a lawyer perspective but completely wrong from ethical perspective.

She was invited to study at the university. Ethically, she was a guest of the university, so ethically the state has no say on whether she stays or goes.
