NBC News: Video shows Tufts graduate student grabbed off the street by federal immigration officials

Rumeysa Ozturk, a Turkish national with a valid student visa, was arrested Tuesday on her way to meet up with friends to break her Ramadan fast, her lawyer said.

Federal authorities detained a Tufts University graduate student Tuesday while she was on her way to break her Ramadan fast with friends, her lawyer said, and the moment was caught on video.

Department of Homeland Security agents apprehended Rumeysa Ozturk, a Turkish national who was maintaining a valid F-1 student visa as a doctoral student, near her home, her attorney, Mahsa Khanbabai, said in a statement.

“It was only late Wednesday evening that I learned that she was sent to Louisiana, despite a federal court order that she not be removed from the state,” Khanbabai said in an email early Thursday.

The U.S. Sun: 14-year-olds to pull overnight shifts as US state moves to roll back child labor laws & combat ‘dirt cheap’ migrant work

14-year-olds to work overnight as immigrants get deported

In Florida, 16- and 17-year-olds are currently prohibited from working before 6:30 am and after 11 pm on school days.

They are also barred from working more than 30 hours a week during the school year.

A new proposal would remove all of those restrictions – including the requirement that teens get a meal break, the Miami Herald reported.

Governor Ron DeSantis supports the measure and argues it’s a way to address what he calls “dirt cheap” labor from illegal immigrants.

The Independent: Milwaukee mother of 5 deported to Laos ‘shaken’ as she faces decades without family in U.S.

Mother of 5 deported to a country she’s never known …

A Milwaukee woman who was deported to Laos by the Trump administration earlier this month is deeply “shaken” by the prospect of spending more than a decade away from her partner and five children back home in Wisconsin, activists helping the family told The Independent.

Ma Yang, a 37-year-old Hmong-American, has been living in a government facility outside the Laotian capital of Vientiane for the past couple of weeks after being forced to leave her family and friends in the U.S.

Yang was taken to a military hospital on Monday night by the Laotian authorities after staying for days without insulin for her diabetes and running out of her medication for high blood pressure.

Reuters: DOGE staffer ‘Big Balls’ provided tech support to cybercrime ring, records show

The best-known member of Elon Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service team of technologists once provided support to a cybercrime gang that bragged about trafficking in stolen data and cyberstalking an FBI agent, according to digital records reviewed by Reuters.

Edward Coristine [aka “Big Balls”] is among the most visible members of the DOGE effort that has been given sweeping access to official networks as it attempts to radically downsize the U.S. government.

Beginning around 2022, while still in high school, Coristine ran a company called DiamondCDN that provided network services, according to corporate and digital records reviewed by Reuters and interviews with half a dozen former associates. Among its users was a website run by a ring of cybercriminals operating under the name “EGodly,” according to digital records preserved by the internet intelligence firm DomainTools and the online cybersecurity tool Any.Run.

Jewish Space Lasers

Good essay on one of King Donald’s top suck-ups in Congress.


“The truth is this: Marjorie Taylor Greene is incapable of facing reality. Not just politically — psychologically. The moment she’s confronted with a question that can’t be spun into a bumper sticker, she implodes. That’s what happened here. And it wasn’t a gaffe. It was a confession.

“This is a woman who built her career on lies and rage. Who blamed Jewish space lasers for wildfires. Who chased down a teenage school shooting survivor and berated him in public like a shrieking ghoul. Who called for a “national divorce” not as a metaphor, but as a middle finger to the Constitution she pretends to defend. Who floated the idea of executing her political enemies, then claimed it was a joke — as if the rot hadn’t already set in.

“She is not misunderstood. She is not controversial. She is deranged, and her presence in Congress is a national humiliation.”

Here Are the Attack Plans That Trump’s Advisers Shared on Signal

The administration has downplayed the importance of the text messages inadvertently sent to The Atlantic’s editor in chief.

So, about that Signal chat.

On Monday, shortly after we published a story about a massive Trump-administration security breach, a reporter asked the secretary of defense, Pete Hegseth, why he had shared plans about a forthcoming attack on Yemen on the Signal messaging app. He answered, “Nobody was texting war plans. And that’s all I have to say about that.”

At a Senate hearing yesterday, the director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, and the director of the Central Intelligence Agency, John Ratcliffe, were both asked about the Signal chat, to which Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor in chief of The Atlantic, was inadvertently invited by National Security Adviser Michael Waltz. “There was no classified material that was shared in that Signal group,” Gabbard told members of the Senate Intelligence Committee.

Ratcliffe said much the same: “My communications, to be clear, in the Signal message group were entirely permissible and lawful and did not include classified information.”

President Donald Trump, asked yesterday afternoon about the same matter, said, “It wasn’t classified information.”

So if it wasn’t classified, and if the Trump administration is going to openly insult them and call them liars …

The statements by Hegseth, Gabbard, Ratcliffe, and Trump—combined with the assertions made by numerous administration officials that we are lying about the content of the Signal texts—have led us to believe that people should see the texts in order to reach their own conclusions. There is a clear public interest in disclosing the sort of information that Trump advisers included in nonsecure communications channels, especially because senior administration figures are attempting to downplay the significance of the messages that were shared.

And here it is:
