On March 27th, two days after masked immigration officers nabbed Tufts graduate student Rumeysa Ozturk off the street as part of the Trump administration crackdown on noncitizen activists, Canary Mission—the shadowy organization that operates a blacklist of Palestine solidarity activists—took credit for Ozturk’s targeting, tweeting that “her Canary Mission profile [w]as the primary cause [of her detention].” While the Trump administration has thus far refused to confirm or deny the veracity of such claims, the fact that Ozturk, as well as two other students, were targeted for deportation after being featured on Canary Mission testifies to the growing importance of the group, which was previously a relatively fringe outfit focused on calling on employers to fire pro-Palestinian employees.The corporate media are complicit in the Gaza genocide. Never forget what they did. Never forgive them for it.
Is it right to call these people "philanthropists"?
