"[The abduction of Rümeysa Öztürk] was not 'law enforcement.' It was a political kidnapping, an act of state terror. It mirrored, in form and intent, the very tactics the Gestapo used to silence dissent, disappear the 'undesirables,' and spread fear through calculated, extrajudicial violence in Nazi Germany."

~ Henry Giroux

A little over 50 protesters with the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), Coalition for Human Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles and community members rally to denounce the Trump administration's recent attacks on free speech and immigrant rights including the arrest of Rümeysa Öztürk, at Placita Olverain in downtown Los Angeles, on April 1, 2025.
Truthout · Amid State Abductions, Trump’s Fascism Is No Longer Creeping — It’s HereMasked plainclothes police abducted a graduate student without filing charges. Her apparent “crime”? Writing an op-ed.

InstagramRenato Subotić | Father of the modern MMA on Instagram: "From Seminar to Cell: My 24 Hours in a U.S. Federal Prison, arrested for to much knowledge in MMA. I arrived in America excited, ready to coach my seminar. It was supposed to be a great trip. Instead, I got stopped at the border. Immigration pulled me aside and took me into an isolated room. The officer interviewing me looked like he was looking for something wrong. It was obvious why I was in the U.S. I gave them every specific detail about my seminar, my plans, everything. They kept me in that room for three hours, asking endless questions, I was collaborative. They told me there was a mistake with my visa and that they were taking me to jail “until they figure out what’s next.” Just like that. No clear explanation, no chance to talk to anyone, no rights. They handcuffed me, put me in a car, and drove me to federal prison. They stripped me of everything. Took my clothes, gave me jail clothes, fingerprinted me, took photos, searched me. Gave me a blanket and sheet. Then they walked me to my block — 4B. The moment the door opened, it was chaos. Fights between gangs. People screaming. Arguing over food, what to watch on TV, crazy people running around. Madness. The guard walked me to cell 221, where there was a filthy mattress with patches of piss and blood. The guard told me to hurry up so I could get some food. I dropped my stuff and went downstairs. While I was in line, four guys started beating the hell out of another guy, smashing his head into the fence. I wasn’t even hungry. I just grabbed an apple, ate it, and walked straight back to my cell. When I got back, two Mexican guys were in there, stealing my blanket and sheet. I said, “Hey bro, what are you doing?” One of them replied, “Getting my stuff.” I said, “That’s my stuff.” And he looked at me and said, “What are you gonna do about it?” We had a fight. I got my stuff back. The other one ran out of the cell, screaming, the people in the nearby cells came to watch what was going on. When the guards rushed up, no one said anything. The guard looked at me and said, “You got a good welcome. Keep your head straight, or you’re gonna stay here longer.”"8,662 likes, 611 comments - coachsubotic on April 5, 2025: "From Seminar to Cell: My 24 Hours in a U.S. Federal Prison, arrested for to much knowledge in MMA.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia is the name of the Maryland father the #Trump administration admits to mistakenly kidnapping and sending to an El Salvadoran prison known for its practice of torture

A judge has ordered his return but our government is appealing the ruling. They don’t want him back, despite the fact that they admit they had no right to deport him

They know that if he’s back he’ll use his voice & let the world know what our government is doing to innocent people
#immigration #deportation

They appear to be moving into a stage of overt evil.

“Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

Homan, who describes himself as a "lifelong Catholic" and "devout Mass-goer," has told Pope Francis to mind his business and stick to religion — to butt out of Holman's business with immigrants.

Trump's media guru Karoline Leavitt, who lied boldly about disappearing of immigrants this week, is another lifelong Catholic schooled from grade school through college in Catholic schools. She describes herself as an ardently "pro-life" Catholic.

"So many of the men detained by ICE and sent to El Salvador have no criminal records. ICE agents targeted them simply because they had 'suspicious' tattoos and brown skin. It is an exercise in petty power designed to elevate the worst among us. We are throwing the keys over to the brown shirts."

Commenting on the disappearing by the Trump administration of Andry José Hernández Romero and Neri Alvarado, Greg Olear says,

"You know, those people are gone. So this is horrifying. And it speaks to where this is headed, because the longer that they do this kind of thing without any repercussions, the more they’re going to push it and start rounding up other people also."
