The consequences of arbitrary arrest & deportation & forced disappearance don't stop at the person whisked away wo due process or even with that person's family. The tactic is a form of government-sponsored terrorism and the self-imprisonment of one student detailed by Teen Vogue is only the start.

“I need my immigration [lawyer’s] phone number written on my body,” one student concerned about being snatched by ICE tells @anveebhutani.bsky.social . That student says they've put themselves under voluntary house arrest and installed security cameras. www.teenvogue.com/story/intern...

‘If you’re watching this, I’ve been taken by ICE.’ International students are rehearsing ICE raid scenarios, sleeping with prescriptions & lawyers’ numbers, and have developed chronic health issues—all under Trump’s crackdown. My latest for @TeenVogue www.teenvogue.com/story/intern...

Mohsen Mahdawi saw his best friend killed by an Israeli soldier. But since moving to the US, he’s spoken in churches and synagogues—seeking understanding, not vengeance. Read my profile in The Times www.nytimes.com/2025/04/16/n...

It’s a sad day in America when student journalists must resign or write anonymously because they fear government reprisals. This is the opposite of free speech.

We’ve had a years-long panic over “free speech” that was mostly left-punching from reactionary centrists mad that students had the gall to question them. Now, when we are facing with an actual crisis of free-speech loudest voices are quiet. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

A must read. Back story on Mahmoud Khalil. Incredibly, there's a link to video of his (group) visit with the Dalai Lama where he asked him a philosophical question. No spoilers! Read the @leximcmenamin.bsky.social's piece!

“Jeromie Whalen, who once taught w/Khalil at a refugee camp in Lebanon, says Khalil’s story was, in many ways, the American dream: resilience, perseverance, success. And yet, after everything, he’s found himself locked up in an ICE detention center without being charged with any crime …”
