"The US state department is undertaking a widespread visa-review process, revoking hundreds of visas and placing hundreds more under scrutiny, targeting mostly foreign nationals engaged in pro-Palestine activism, according to official statements.
The secretary of state, Marco Rubio, confirmed the scale of the crackdown, announcing that he has canceled visas for more than 300 people…."

So Kristi Noem violated the Geneva Conventions, what a surprise;
“The humanitarian laws included in the Geneva Convention mandate that “prisoners of war must at all times be humanely treated and protected against acts of violence, intimidation, insults, and public curiosity,” wrote Secretary of the Navy John H. Chafee in 1971 during the height of the Vietnam War.
That means that “[p]risoners may not be publicly exploited for purposes of propaganda,” wrote Jonathan V. Last in a scathing column at The Bulwark that pointed out the grotesque nature of Noem’s photo op, with the prisoners dressed alike, “crammed into a cell,” unmoving, silent, and not making any facial expressions.”

"A Harvard scientist who fled Russia because she opposed the war in Ukraine is facing deportation back to the land of Vladimir Putin, her friends claim.
Kseniia Petrova, a bioinformatician at the Kirschner Lab at Harvard Medical School, was detained at the U.S. border on February 16 while returning from France and had her visa revoked, according to her friend Cora Anderson."

"We know they’re lusting to widen their net against perceived enemies.
That was on full display in broad daylight Tuesday in Boston when masked federal agents in hoodies stopped and handcuffed a Tufts University doctoral student and Fulbright scholar. Rumeysa Ozturk, a Turkish national and Muslim wearing a hijab, was put into an unmarked car and shipped off to a detention center in Louisiana, just as Columbia student Mahmoud Kahlil was earlier this month."

"There are Americans cheering for these unjust deportations because they’ve been convinced by Trump’s dehumanizing, demonizing verbiage that immigrants are not deserving of humane treatment. But we can be sure this is not the end—this is just the beginning of this fascist regime’s terror campaign aimed at deterring refugees, savoring cruelty and silencing dissent."

"What’s happening right now in broad daylight, on our formerly free sidewalks, endangers every one of us. Until we can again walk those streets without fearing masked secret police from our own government, no one is safe."

"Even after many months of warning that a vengeful Trump 47 would attempt to govern this way, we still cannot believe it can happen here, in the United States of America. Call this fascism, but remarkably, that particular F-word has lost its sting in the sheer exhaustion of the decade since our strongman ruler descended on that golden escalator at Trump Tower. What is happening to Ozturk is state-sponsored terrorism."
"There are many, many stunning and unprecedented things happening in Trump’s America right now. But I chose to write about this one because, frankly, once you have watched the chilling video of masked government goons snatching Ozturk off the street in broad daylight, it is hard to think — let alone write — about anything else."

"Having studied the Holocaust and historical memory, it’s haunting to be living through a period where cruelty and dehumanization is being normalized in real time. …
On top of everything, we learned that Timothy Snyder and Jason Stanley, leading scholars of authoritarianism, have left or are leaving the country."

"The pattern of detentions shows the Trump administration is targeting foreign students for their pro-Palestinian political views. The Department of Homeland Security confirmed Ozturk was detained under the same law used to detain Columbia University graduate Mahmoud Khalil, a pro-Palestinian activist."

"She stepped onto a sidewalk in Boston — and vanished into Trump’s shadow state. Masked ICE agents are now snatching dissidents off the streets like a scene from Stalin’s Russia. This isn’t speculative fiction. It’s happening right now, in America."

"The Trump administration is essentially claiming it can detain noncitizens for expressing views it deems problematic, with no specific criminal charges and without providing evidence. If this doesn't concern you because you disagree with the political views of those being detained, then you were never actually concerned about free speech — you were just concerned about protecting certain viewpoints."

"By the time a federal judge ordered that Ozturk not be moved outside Massachusetts, she had already been transferred to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center in Louisiana — more than 1,400 miles from where she was seized.
This is the latest in a disturbing pattern."
