Trump terrorising students to silence dissent – Congresswoman Pressley

Published on March 29, 2025 at 09:13 PM

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley has accused the Donald Trump administration of “terrorising students to silence dissent.”

Pressley made this claim in a post on X, where she issued a strongly worded defence of Turkish graduate student Rumeysa Ozturk.

Ozturk was detained by immigration authorities in Massachusetts over her advocacy for Palestinian rights.

She was whisked away by plainclothed, masked agents in the streets.

Pressley described the incident, which was captured on video, as a “kidnapping.”;

Several international students, including Ozturk, have been arrested and had their visas revoked due to their activism against Israel’s war on Gaza.

“This administration is terrorising students to silence dissent because that’s what a dictator does.

“And the only reason she was kidnapped is because she holds a dissenting political view, different from Donald Trump’s. That’s it.

“This should be a five-alarm fire for anyone who cares about free speech and our democracy—regardless of your political party, ideology, or opinion on Israel, Palestine, or any other issue,”; Pressley wrote in a social media post.
