"The files on ztrk, some of which previously were not available to the public, indicate further that the government relied solely on the inferences made from an op-ed she wrote for the student newspaper to carry out the revocation of her visa, her arrest, and her detention," the Globe reported. ... Among the newly unsealed documents is a DHS summary of findings on ztrk, with ex-DHS official Andre Watson writing that the student's actions may have constituted "violations of President Trump's executive orders on anti-Semitism," and that her continued presence in the United States could "have potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences."

The unsealed records reveal that: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) provided no evidence of antisemitism, violence, or support for a terrorist organization. The State Department's own internal memo acknowledged there were insufficient grounds to revoke her visa. Despite this, ztrk's visa was revoked, and she was arrested in March 2025 by masked, plainclothes ICE agents. Government officials, including DHS and State Department personnel, relied entirely on inferences drawn from the op-ed to justify her detention and deportation.

Completely unprofessional investigation work, top-to-bottom, from Trunpf junta apparatchiks.

The fact that SAs from the State Dept (or whoever else was involved) didn't examine or question the evidence against Rumeysa Ozturk informs us ICE is no more than an armed mob.

And Executive Orders are not laws, despite what the junta wants.

Even the brutal security organs of the Third Reich followed the laws when investigating Jews, dissidents, and undesirables.

"Ach, this person is not a Jew because according to the records his great-grandmother was born before 1750, so we cannot arrest him."

Dummkopf Trumpf's sinister regime, the "Fourth Reich," is a composite of the American Civil War when POTUS Abraham Lincoln suspended habeus corpus to stop Copperhead newspaper agitprop and activities in the North and the infamous Palmer Raids of 1919-20 to deport Eastern European immigrants wholesale because of the "Red Scare" following the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia.
