ICE is targeting legal residents, silencing free speech and dissent, and making an example of anyone who dares to speak up for Palestine. We can’t let them win! Dear Email, A few weeks ago, Rumeysa Ozturk, a Turkish Muslim graduate student, was detained by ICE just weeks after being doxxed by Canary Mission for her vocal support of Palestinian rights. Rumeysa has not been charged with any crime. Her only “offense” is speaking out against genocide and standing up for Palestinian human rights. Detaining a peaceful scholar, denying her access to healthcare, and isolating her in a cell is not immigration enforcement; it’s political persecution. TAKE ACTION: SIGN THIS PETITION DEMANDING HER IMMEDIATE RELEASE  We’re calling on our community to rise up and demand her immediate release. No one should be detained, deported, or disappeared for standing on the side of justice. We cannot allow this administration to weaponize ICE to silence pro-Palestinian voices. What’s happening to Rumeysa Ozturk, Mahmoud Khalil, and dozens of other students, professors, fellows, and residents isn’t isolated; it’s part of a coordinated, government-enabled assault on free speech and dissent. Rumeysa, among others, is being made an example of, a test case for how far they can go to criminalize political expression. And if we stay silent, this repression will only grow. It’s on us to act loudly, unapologetically, and do everything we can to protect them and beat back this dangerous escalation of political retaliation. In solidarity,
