Our Director Dima Khalidi argues in the The Nation today that universities’ complete surrender to Trump’s ever-harsher crackdowns on the student movement “will not release them from the administration’s crosshairs. Columbia has learned that lesson 400 million times over”.

The National Lawyers Guild and its International Committee condemn the escalation of federal repression. The arrest and detention of Mahmoud Khalil demonstrates a dangerous increase in both the criminalization of protest in the United States and the targeting of immigrants.

Kemp's awful plan to get the Georgia Department of Public Safety to target migrant community members will have devastating impacts. The 287(g) program is rife with abuse and racial profiling and has led to an atmosphere of terror among migrant communities. ajc.com/politics/kemp-…

The same universities overseeing a wave of repression against students have also welcomed in the architects of the war crime that was the 2003 invasion of Iraq - and they're now welcoming in key US enablers of the Gaza genocide. My latest for Truthout. truthout.org/articles/war-a…

🚨BREAKING🚨 On 3/25 PhD Tufts grad worker Rumeysa Ozturk, a Fulbright scholar, was ambushed by ICE on her way to an Iftar w/ friends after leaving her apt. Rumeysa was likely targeted after being doxxed by Canary Mission and her home watched for 2 days before she was abducted.

Given the arrest of Duterte per a warrant from the International Criminal Court, we call in this The Intercept article for U.S. financiers of Duterte's crimes, namely Trump and Biden, to also be held accountable. The era of impunity is over! theintercept.com/2025/03/19/rod…

Last week I was detained for several hours by DHS, intensely interrogated about my possible connections to student activists and my time in Cuba, subjected to an invasive groin search, and had my electronic devices seized.
