After receiving the recommendation from DHS, the #State Dept found that while Ozturk had protested Tufts’ relationship with Israel, neither #DHS nor #ICE nor Homeland Security investigations produced any evidence showing that Ozturk has engaged in antisemitic activity or made public statements indicating support for a terrorist organization, according to U.S. government employees briefed on the State Department’s memo.
#DHS originally recommended the revocation of #RumeysaOzturk’s #visa under an authority in the #Immigration & Nationality Act that allows for the deportation of a foreigner if the secy of state has reasonable grounds to believe the person’s presence or activities has “adverse policy consequence for the United States,” acc/to a copy of a separate memo reviewed by WaPo & sent by DHS to the #State Dept before her detention last month.
The memo, written by an office within the #State Dept, raises doubts about the public accusations made by the #Trump administration as it has sought to justify #RumeysaOzturk’s #deportation. The #DHS has said Ozturk engaged in activities “in support of Hamas,” a #US - designated terrorist organization, but neither that agency nor US prosecutors have provided evidence for that claim.
Days BEFORE masked #ICE agents detained #Tufts University student #RumeysaOzturk to deport her, the #State Dept determined that the #Trump admin had not produced any evidence showing that she engaged in antisemitic activities or made public statements supporting a terrorist organization, as the govt has alleged.

The filing from Michael Kozak, of the #State Department's Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs, did not, however, say what steps the #Trump admin was taking to bring #KilmarAbregoGarcia home, as #Xinis had also ordered.
"I am aware that the instant lawsuit has been filed seeking the return of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia to the United States from El Salvador," Kozak's filing said.

This article "Bad People" by William Gillis is very good.
It lacks the facts that some people, and not a few, like to live in command and control pyramidal structures. That not everyone is altruistic. That there is bad people,
"those for whom other people are not an extension of their own existence as sites of agency, but objects to be crushed or used."
So realization #1, again and again proved in history, old and current:
"A core anarchist realization is that we cannot guard against bad people by creating institutions of power because the same bad people will inevitably seize and wield those institutions. "
I won't quote it all, but then it goes to police and "simplistic order" structures, how they attract bad people and defend pyramidal hierarchies - often with bad people on top, the risk posed these bad people by decentralisation of communications and large scale coordination and altruistic weapons like boycotts (where you accept to lose personnaly for a better future for the community).
How the bad people are themselves very bad at organic coordination (too much selfishness) and rely on pyramidal power structures.
And thus, of they always drift towards the state and its institutions.
And that's half the article. It 8s really very good.
OK, I get all that. I even get that in an hypothetical world without any pyramidal power structures, you can manage to avoid their awaking with strong and definitive retaliation when some start to appear - even if I don't get how it's done in the whole world, or if only on your communities, how you manage imperialism from others.
But I still don't get how we can go from where we are to that world, even with bottom-up thingy.
And I don't understand either how we can know most people don't want to be part of pyramidal structures.
