    "#Öztürk, a #TuftsUniversity PhD student, and #Khalil, a graduate of #Columbia, have been detained for more than a month since US immigration authorities took them into custody.

  5. "Come for one, face us all."

    from #TheWire
    [online publication of #JewishVoiceForPeace #JVP in #USA]

    "Desperate to crush popular and growing opposition to #Israel’s genocide, the #Trump regime is shredding our First Amendment rights.

    But we’re not backing down. Shortly after Mohsen was arrested, over a thousand Jews and allies gathered for an emergency Passover seder outside ICE headquarters in NYC to demand his and other student activists’ release.

    Our message is clear: “Come for one, face us all.”"
