The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

The aggressive enforcement actions are because the Thought Police are unhappy. Anyone who Rubio disagrees with, even years ago, is at risk. An invited dinner guest to Rubio's house, with unacceptable views, will be imprisoned in Rubio's cold cellar. Not asked to leave. Just thrown down the cellar stairs. This is unAmerican, and uncivilized. It violates rights to free speech and due process, as U.S. Constitutional protections apply even to noncitizens. The image of America as a civilized law-abiding country is being shattered.

Tufts student was not notified her visa was revoked shortly before masked ICE agents arrested her, defense says, Updated March 28, 2025 (behind paywall)
"The Trump administration revoked the visa of a Tufts graduate student on March 21 but never notified her before masked Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents swarmed her on a Somerville sidewalk Tuesday and took her into custody, records show. Once Rümeysa Öztürk was in ICE custody, her friends, her attorney, and the Turkish consulate could not locate her for 24 hours, during which she suffered an asthma attack, according to a new court filing Friday by her attorneys."
“Arrest and detention are not a necessary or usual consequence of the revocation of a visa,” the attorneys wrote. “But like the revocation of her visa, her arrest and detention are designed to silence her, punish her for her speech and ensure that other students will be chilled from expressing pro-Palestinian viewpoints.”

FIRST AMENDED PETITION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS AND COMPLAINT
Case: Ozturk v. Hyde
1:25-cv-10695 | U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts
Filed Date: March 25, 2025
Case Ongoing
"Rümeysa has not been charged with any crime. Nor has there been any allegation that she is dangerous or a flight risk. Her arrest and detention appear to be based solely on her co-authorship of an op-ed in her school newspaper, The Tufts Daily, in March 2024. Rümeysa’s arrest and detention are designed to punish her speech and chill the speech of others."

"Because Rümeysa suffers from asthma, her family and friends worried that she could become ill without access to her medication... Counsel learned that she had suffered an asthma attack while en route to Louisiana."
