Rep. Jake Auchincloss (D-Mass.) mentioned the Trump management’s choice to arrest a Turkish immigrant who studied at Tufts College whilst on a pupil visa was once out of the strange and by contrast with Massachusetts’ custom.
“Massachusetts has been welcoming students and immigrants for four centuries. The footage I saw today of Tufts graduate student Rumeysa Ozturk being detained by masked officers is contrary to that tradition,” Auchincloss wrote in a Thursday put up on X.
A recording of Ozturk’s detainment undertaken by means of six brokers in mask has been plastered around the web.
Democratic lawmakers have raised considerations concerning the means of her removing. Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) in particular described the development as a “chilling” second that are supposed to subject to all American citizens, whilst Auchincloss mentioned he thinks the coed was once detained over her affairs of state.
“Ms. Ozturk has no reported record of violence or harassment; she did co-write an op-ed about Israel, with which I disagree. I have written about my opposing view,” the Massachusetts lawmaker wrote.
“That’s how America works. Revoking her visa because of her political viewpoint is not how America works.”
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT.) has additionally shared equivalent observations about Yunseo Chung, a Columbia College pupil who the Trump management made makes an attempt to forcibly take away.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio estimated greater than 300 international scholars have had their visas revoked for the reason that Trump management took over.
“We do it every day. Every time I find one of these lunatics, I take away their visa,” Rubio informed journalists at a press convention.
“I hope at some point we run out because we have gotten rid of all of them, but we’re looking every day for these lunatics that are tearing things up.”
The Trump management has set a purpose to hold out the biggest deportation within the nation’s historical past.
