Freedom of Speech?? hey, jd vance: arresting protesters to me reminds me much more of authoritarianism, than Europe trying to tackle waves of misinformation, by moderating social media. US of A is becoming a police-state. Disgusting.

This seems like a coordinated policy to remove students and anyone else on visas for criticizing government policy or perhaps even supporting the Palestinian cause. Trump is trying to squash free speech.

It took 6 Ice agents to detain 1 student carrying a phone and backpack with some covering their faces. Where have i seen this before... Let me think...wait.. oh yeah death squads and militants serving fascists. This can't be in America can it?

They covered their faces WHY? This is how enforced disappearances happen (see below). Please scream KIDNAPPING, huff, puff, kick, and DO NOT get in the car without an Oscar worthy scene. No badges, covered up & quickly grabbed her phone. 😡 FISHY bsky.app/profile/bint...

"Enforced disappearance has frequently been used as a strategy to spread terror within societies. The feeling of insecurity generated by this practice is not limited to the close relatives of the disappeared, but also affects their communities and society as a whole." www.ohchr.org/en/special-p...

Israel is committing genocide. And protesting against that is why they are kidnapping students with visas? This era is the most shameful I’ve ever seen in my GenX life as far as America. Thankfully I’m not 🇺🇸 but feel bad for those stuck under this criminal regime against human rights.

She's a tiny, fucking female graduate student. That's how they approach her, bigger men covered in dark pants and hoody with no identification on their clothes? You can see how scared she is. Why didn't they have the female officer approach her first? Jesus, it's just like Prewar Germany.

First were the "illegals", then the migrants, now the students... Any common American that rase their voice against the fascist Trump regime will be next in line to the concentration/dead camps...! Trump is following Hitler's playbook since day one...!

And the GOV can very well say, they know nothing about this. Just posted about enforced disappearances. Where I emigrated from, it was common for activists and opposition party members to disappear. SAME scenario💯. America nip this in the bud NOW. Governors need to make a statement about this ASAP.🥺

And the bastards let her walk into a trap?! (I am really flunking Lent. 🫢 ) And now this young woman is ghosted somewhere in Louisiana??? Where Kahil is being held? I am still irritated with protesters who purposely did not vote, but I don’t wish fascist treatment on them.

If you're here on a student Visa we expect you to come with respect & gratefulness to the American people who are supporting you. But when your country is so shitty that you have to leave it and come here, we don't want to hear you blaming America. Go back to your shitty country and make it better.

That is what got us where we are. Apathy. The only reason I got on Bluesky was to protest. And I have attended them, despite moving to a MAGA stronghold, that feels like another country. Cult brainwashed Lemmings, not realizing they are next, not wanting to see it.

MAGA Reich's Gestapo 💩 goons, under orders of SS-CosplayFührer Kristi Noem, disappearing people for "crimes of opinion" or being of "the wrong religion". This student is legally in the US. But that doesn't matter 4 the gang of lunatic cultists who support The Fürher Orange Turd, as she was "Muslim"

The US has always had a problem with officiousness and stupid low level official over-reach. But this is stupendous. No process, no warning. The "officials" are wearing masks. And she has a valid visa. What are you doing.

Actions such as this move us deeper into an authoritarian state. It seems her “crime“ was exercising her right to respectfully express herself. We hear the fascist regime talk about protecting free speech, but their actions only reveal a desire to suppress free speech and stifle freedom.

Unbelievable that this is happening - and imagine how scared she must have been? Nothing on their clothing identifying them. Masks over their faces to hide their identities. How does anyone know they were “ICE”? No way she could have known that! This was a kidnapping in BROAD DAYLIGHT!
