Very strange

I hope they’re staying away from high windows.

Scientists are fleeing the USA. Just as they fled to the US from Nazi Germany.

No ICE involved with this one as far as we know.

They’ve disappeared 2 more? WTF!?!

My guess, Wang and Ma wiped the data themselves and fled weeks ago, taking their research and data with them. My guess, they are not in the US and have not been for a number of days. The government is many stepa behind.

Did Alex Nelson Wong have anything to do with that?

IF it's Trump's ICE, the safe bet is the action was racist, corrupt, violent & sadistic.

We don't know that /anyone/ was arrested yet. This is the whole problem. We don't know much of anything and while I might expect the FBI to be tight-lipped, the university just scrubbing his profiles and saying absolutely nothing makes the whole thing pretty suspicious.

Seriously?

Makes it sound like they were late to the fair. "has disappeared along with his wife, and their profiles on the school's website were wiped ahead of recent FBI raids."

"has been disappeared" are not words I ever thought I'd read in relation to the first world

So if the lawyer had no idea what the investigation was about, it’s unlikely they provided a warrant to enter and search.

🫂🥲🫂

This must stop NOW

I don't think you know what "communism" means.

Sounds secred poilice like

It’s happening. All of us are in danger.

Keep making phone calls! Keep writing emails! Keep boycotting! March! All of us together can make a difference! Demand ACTION!

VISAs are getting revoked; people are not getting notified and the US govt is handing their names over to bounty hunters. They are NOT ICE.

But his info was erased by the university “in recent weeks” and he and his wife went missing—long before the FBI raid. This sounds like more of an espionage case to me.

It’s a large university with respected business and music schools. According to this article, it has a moderate orientation with progressive elements getting stronger recently. studyatuniversity.com/education/is...

Some context: indianapublicmedia.org/news/data-sh...

Life in America has become Kafkaesque.

We need to keep a database of how universities are responding. It's not that I'd expect them to protect their people from the US Government, but there's a huge difference between "Due to an open investigation we have temporarily suspended Professor Wang with pay" and "Who is Professor Wang?"

The disappearing are increasing.👹

That’s what I was thinking.

The FBI is currently run by an organization or cult called maga who are into crypto currency and anything else they can steal or sell!

ANYONE can be disappeared. Absolutely anyone. The constitution will no longer protect us.

Detained, disappeared

the gestapo is busy over there

The SS got them. No one will ever see them or hear from them again. Can't believe what's happening here in America .

He’s in El Salvador was on a midnight flt

I hope they are ok...

This is horrifying but not unexpected.Trump is mad his mass deportations are not going well Universities are chock a block full of international students and faculty. Sitting ducks for aggressive ICE actions. Not one Univ Pres or Chan. is out screaming only @aftunion.bsky.social @aaup.bsky.social

WTAF

There “was” a concept of due process. This administration has no regard for it.

I don’t understand your point.

😂🤣😅 OMG NOT LITERALLY!!!! LOLOL

Perhaps they had proof of the stolen 2024 election and data fuckery by DOGE…

American Tyranny - due process for the chief felon, but not for others

Whiskey. Tango. Alpha. Foxtrot

ACAB

Everyone

FBI gonna FBI. you're all gonna have your minds blown when you find out what happened to all the ferguson protesters

Oh my God! Is it even legal? This is getting terrifying.

Criminals in charge!

Hopefully he disappeared himself to protect him and his family

He probably has a distant relative that posted something anti-USA on the Internet and not something that juicy.

The class was put on by the DoD as a recruiting event. I’m wondering if they simply burned the not-white guy. But maybe he did find the easy block of code to steal it.

Hi, I'm a reporter from Bloomington, would we be able to chat about this?

Boris and Natasha are learning Mandarin.

Enough already

"The FBI conducted court authorized law enforcement activity..." If a court approved this there's likely evidence of crimes committed. When the US finds a spy, they rarely arrest them, just watch for a few decades.

To learn more about "disappearing people," as practiced by the Nazis, read the Bernie Gunther novels by the late Scottish writer Phillip Kerr. First 3 are collected under the title Berlin Noir. Gunther is a former Berlin cop who starts a detective agency. www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/305129...

You are determined to be wrong today, aren't you?

No that’s fucking stupid

They knew something

This is incredibly unsettling given the Trump administration's enthusiam for kidnaping people off the street with no recourse.

Here's* 🙄

😭😭😭🤬🤬🤬

In normal times I’d assume the FBI’s onto something like this. (Trump’s illegal actions against immigrants confuses the situation and the university’s bizarre scrubbing of info confuses it further.) 📌 bsky.app/profile/thei...

I hope he escaped.

Did he write an op-ed questioning US foreign policy?

This does not look like they "were disappeared". People have been chained, deported on cameras, not in secret. And why wait 2 weeks to do a search of houses in front of cameras, and getting a proper warrant? Does not add up. Maybe he and/or his family were sleeper agents/spies? Also big news...

Omg

El Salvador Express?🤔

What about Professor Chung?

Trump's Gestapo agents are very active. Many law-abiding Americans now live in fear of the knock on the door. Where is the outrage? Or has fear paralyzed everyone?

These recurring news of missing people are reminiscent of “the night of crystals”.

If true, kinda scary in these times. Turning Russian for sure.

I apologize if this is already known, but I didn’t read it in the article. he appears to be listed in this tableau, and I wonder if he was contacted personally by ICE: public.tableau.com/app/profile/...

I live in the town where IU is. Just saw this on the news… 😳

Wow. The guy wasn't just teaching art history here... Wang and Ma have been unpersoned!

🤔

😳

So where is the warrant for us to see? I suspect this is what we are to expect when a government runs without law. No warrant has been shown and 2 people disappeared without a trace. We are in a police state.

Having a sympathetic judge rubber-stamping warrants and then using said warrants to fish for a reason to arrest them is functionally the same, but with a veneer of legitimacy. Their whereabouts being unknown and their profiles being scrubbed means they're being disappeared, warrants or no warrants.

Then we should know where they are and there should be hearings scheduled

Presumably, being in the US without a valid visa would be sufficient - and that is easily arranged. bsky.app/profile/prem...

Clang the gongs!!!

The police are complicit in Trump’s fascism. No cop can be trusted, nor the FBI. Americans need to act fast before more Nazis are recruited and given access to military grade weapons.

Apparently he has not been arrested or charged, but we should demand to see the probable cause pretty quickly to confirm that this is not a McCarthy-esque witch hunt against a valued member of our community.

Gosh, you definitely have gone down the rabbit hole and at this moment you have no chance of returning. Lots of countries are now warning people not to travel to the USA. What does that say about your country????

nazi (F)elonmusk heavily influencing the way trump and his minions do business.

The whole of the leadership of this government needs to be removed!

😱

Thanks!

Criminals are in charge!

Wtf!

😬

This is what fascism looks like. Nobody is safe.
