🚨According to litigators, ICE just put a dozen men on a flight (which may have already taken off) to SOUTH SUDAN, a country on the brink of civil war, in direct defiance of a court order requiring ICE to give people an opportunity to raise objections before being sent to a country not their own.

Alina Habba tells Fox News that Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was arrested and is being held in a secret location right now.
Martha MacCallum: "Where is he being held?"
Habba: 'I'm not going to speak to that right now. He's obviously in New Jersey."

While in healthy gov'ts private citizens and gov't do collaborate, this particular form of detention-seeking by private citizens is a telltale of fascist states and Reichlin-Melnick is rightfully concerned here.
A snitch state is not a free state. One should not be jailed bc others are offended.

@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social also emphasizes that the entire process was initiated by a non-governtmental group who has as an explicit goal to engage in publicity and activism that results in the deportation of persons who oppose Israel's actions in Gaza.

A good starting point for reading about the case of Efe Ercelik. Downthread the decision addresses the shocking but unsurprising fact that the gov't itself acknowledges the visa cancellation, arrest, and detention are in retaliation for Ercelik's 1A protected activities.
Important decision which touches on Betar and Canary Mission's influence on getting people deported.
The judge highlights how ONE DAY after Betar tweeted that it had "submitted [Ercelik's] name for deportation," the State Department revoked his visa. The day after that DHS issued an arrest warrant.

Now from Öztürk’s ACLU lawyer Esha Bhandari:
“Rümeysa Öztürk’s case is unprecedented and shocking. She has been held behind bars for six weeks while her health deteriorates for writing an op-ed.”

The consequences of arbitrary arrest & deportation & forced disappearance don't stop at the person whisked away wo due process or even with that person's family.
The tactic is a form of government-sponsored terrorism and the self-imprisonment of one student detailed by Teen Vogue is only the start.
