ICE, FBI, US Marshals
Raid wrong house in Oklahoma City
Terrorize mother and three daughters, all U.S. citizens
Force them outside in the rain in their underwear
Steal their phone, laptops, money
Are you proud of your thugs now, Kristi Noem & Tom Homan?
Rot in Hell you f*ck*ng pieces of fascist sh*t!
Ranjani Srinivasan didn’t think the knock would come so soon.
A Fulbright scholar. A doctoral candidate. She spent her days studying how cities displace the poor — and nights convincing herself it wouldn’t happen to her.
Then came March 5, 2025.
An email. Cold. Clinical. The U.S. Consulate in Chennai revoked her visa from halfway across the planet, citing alleged “support for Hamas.” No evidence. No hearing. No appeal. Her real offense?
She shared a protest flyer on Instagram.
ICE showed up soon after. Agents visited her New York apartment multiple times — initially without a warrant. On a later visit, they returned with a judicial one. No charges. No formal deportation order. Just pressure.
So she did what people with no choices do.
She left.
On March 11, Ranjani boarded a one-way flight to Montreal. DHS later claimed she “self-deported” using the CBP One app — but her attorney disputes that, saying she simply complied with the law after her visa was revoked.
Her friends smuggled her laptop across the border days later. Her cat, Cricket, she left behind — safe with a friend, but missed in every moment.
Now she’s in Canada. Stateless. Stunned.
Her belongings? Confiscated or inaccessible.
Her research? Interrupted.
Her future? Dangling by the thread of a refugee claim.
She’s no radical. No operative. She liked and reposted human rights content. That’s it. And for that, the country that once welcomed her turned cold and suspicious — as if brilliance were a threat and dissent a crime.
This wasn’t deportation.
It was coerced exile.

Yunseo Chung was seven when she came to America. By twenty, she had a Columbia University ID, a green card, and a head full of ideas about democracy, civil rights, and peaceful protest.
Big mistake.
In March 2025, Yunseo joined a sit-in at Barnard College. No broken windows. No masks. No Molotovs. Just students in chairs, arms linked, holding signs about Palestine and Columbia’s complicity.
Four days later, ICE showed up.
They knocked on her parents’ door first. Then her dorm. They carried a “harboring” warrant — a flimsy legal fig leaf once used for smugglers, now rebranded for students who sit too still and speak too clearly. DHS called her a “foreign policy threat.”
Translation: she embarrassed them.
No hearing. No charges. Just a green card marked for deletion. She went underground. Lawyers stepped in. A federal judge issued a restraining order, temporarily blocking her arrest and demanding answers.
The government offered none. Just silence and red tape.
Yunseo wasn’t undocumented. She wasn’t violent. She was a straight-A student who took the First Amendment seriously — until it kicked her in the teeth.
She’s still in hiding. Still waiting.
Because when you protest injustice in Trump’s America, they don’t just ignore you.
They hunt you.

Badar Khan Suri didn’t carry a weapon. He carried a syllabus.
A postdoc at Georgetown, he taught courses on peacebuilding, minority rights, and international diplomacy. His lectures challenged power with principle. His research gave voice to the stateless. That was his crime.
DHS never accused him of violence. Never accused him of lying. Just thinking too loudly. Being too brown, too bold, too unwilling to shut up.
And so, in March 2025, they grabbed him.
Masked agents. No warning. Broad daylight. His children watched from the window. His wife — a U.S. citizen — screamed as the SUV pulled away. Georgetown stayed silent for three days. Then the protests began. Students. Professors. Even Jewish alumni. All demanding his release.
The government didn’t care.
What evidence did they offer? His father-in-law was once a Hamas spokesperson. That’s it. No charges. No trial. No defense. Just guilt by association, passed down like a curse.
They revoked his visa. Hauled him to Texas. Locked him away without a single charge.
As of April 2025, he remains detained at the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas. He has not been deported. He has not been charged. A federal judge has temporarily blocked his removal while his legal team fights back. His next immigration court hearing is scheduled for May 6.
They call him a national security threat.
We call him a scholar silenced.

Artemis Ghasemzadeh didn’t come here to start a fight. She came here to survive one. A Christian convert from Iran — a crime that courts execution back home — she crossed into the United States seeking asylum. She brought a battered suitcase, a birth certificate, and a whisper of hope.
She didn’t get a hearing. She didn’t get a lawyer. She didn’t even get a question.
She got dumped.
Panama. A third country. A place she’d never seen, never requested, never even flown over. ICE called it “expedited removal.” We call it what it is: geopolitical laundering of a human soul.
In February 2025, they shackled her and shipped her to a hotel in Panama City — no sunlight, no due process, no warning. She scrawled “HELP US” on the window in lipstick — because that’s all she had. The photo made the front page. The administration didn’t blink.
Then came the jungle. The Darién Gap. They moved her to a remote camp near the edge of the most dangerous migrant trail in the hemisphere — a place where people disappear.
Snakes. Rot. Disease. The constant threat of violence. Women vanish here. Men too.
She was told it was temporary. And this time, it actually was.
In March, after weeks of pressure and media attention, Panamanian authorities released her with a temporary visa. One month. No clear future. No asylum. Just limbo.
She sleeps in borrowed rooms now. Eats what she can afford. Prays to a God she once trusted with her life.
This country didn’t just turn her away.
It exported her crisis.
And if it can vanish Artemis — a teacher who ran from death — what chance do the rest of us have?

Mohsen Mahdawi was arrested outside his naturalization interview in Vermont. He was on track to become a U.S. citizen. ICE decided otherwise.

Alireza Doroudi, an Iranian PhD student at the University of Alabama, was picked up by ICE without charge. No one will say why. He’s still gone.

Rümeysa Öztürk was a Fulbright scholar at Tufts University. ICE agents in masks and hoodies grabbed her off the street, shoved her into an unmarked car, and vanished her into a Louisiana detention center. Her crime? Writing an op-ed critical of Israel’s actions in Gaza.

Kseniia Petrova, a Russian scientist at Harvard, was deported over a technicality involving frog embryo samples. When she said she feared political persecution in Russia, they shrugged and shackled her anyway.
