46.5 billion is a little less than 10% of what has been spent on agencies that carry out immigration enforcement for the last 22 years. If I gave you $10,000 each day from the signing of the Declaration of Independence to today you still wouldn't have a billion dollars.

"🚨BREAKING🚨 On March 25th Tufts PhD grad worker Rumeysa Ozturk, a Fulbright scholar, was ambushed by ICE on her way to an Iftar dinner with friends ...first known abduction of a student activist in Boston. We must stand together against the deportation machine." www.instagram.com/p/DHpqYVIgl3I/
A yellow and black flyer with images of Tufts Palestine solidarity activism, people marching with a Palestinian flag on Tufts campus.

🚨BREAKING🚨
On March 25th PhD Tufts grad worker Rumeysa Ozturk, a Fulbright scholar, was ambushed by ICE agents on her way to an Iftar dinner with friends after leaving her apartment. Rumeysa was likely targeted after being recently doxxed by Canary Mission. Neighbors report that unmarked cars were surveilling the location for two days before grabbing her on the street. We do not yet know where she is detained. 

This marks the first known abduction and disappearance of student activist in Boston and Massachusetts, but ICE has been abducting our community members increasingly over the last 2 months. We must stand together against the deportation machine.

As the Zionist regime continues its genocide on Gaza, murdering nearly 1,000 people in the last week and disappearing nearly 10,000 Palestinians, the Trump administration has shown that it will keep following suit by detaining students without cause.

We must show that our communities will not back down to the Trump administration abducting our students, deporting our neighbors and eroding our constitutional rights to resist the genocide in Gaza, in which the Trump administration itself bears direct complicity.

Executive wants to frame the NIH indirects cut as $4B in savings. But given that NIH returns $2.5 on every $1 investment, this would actually cost US economy a net $6 BILLION (per year!). Not to mention the human costs of wrecking education and research sectors and the communities they serve.
