Terrifying. Now, if you don’t agree with the Administration’s policies on Israel, you are antisemitic and an enemy of the United States (even if you are Jewish!) and subject to legal and financial penalties as a “supporter of terrorism.” www.nytimes.com/2025/05/18/u...

The Dallas ICE office is involved in a mass removal effort targeting nearly 200 people — many without removal orders — scheduled to be deported to El Salvador today.

This is not just cruel – it is lawless. I refuse to stay quiet while families are being torn apart, and lives are being put at risk.

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago:

—Pioneering cancer researcher;
—*Arrested* at airport in Boston;
—Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana;

Without scientist Kseniia Petrova’s expertise, no one can fully unlock the data’s potential, putting crucial advancements in early cancer detection at risk.
