Day 2 of the Leftist side of Twitter pretending they are outraged a women was 'kidnapped' off the streets and sent back to her home country. She is actually in Louisiana right now, so she isn't back as of yet.
Every Jewish American should be standing up and saying NO to this.

Rumeysa Ozturk, a Muslim Turkish national and doctoral student, was arrested by unidentified ICE agents while walking to meet friends. Her whereabouts are unknown. Her only “crime”? Participating in a protest—… pic.twitter.com/6qHaZrcLG9
Post after post from prominent Leftists decries her deportation. Yet Ozturk is here on a student visa, which the United States can revoke at its discretion if it determines she no longer qualifies. That aside, here’s my question: Why is it so critical for Ozturk to remain in the United States and involve herself in our political process? This isn’t her home. She isn’t a citizen. At thirty years old, she’s hardly a young girl fresh out of high school seeking a semester abroad. Why doesn't she take her intense interest in the political process and use it for good in her own country.
Is everything perfect in Turkey? Curious, I conducted a brief search myself. I looked up ‘women’s issues in Turkey,’ and to my surprise, there’s a great deal unfolding there right now. Let’s not forget: Turkey is Ozturk’s home country. She’s only in the United States on a visa. Wow! It’s evident that the women in Turkey could greatly benefit from Ozturk’s voice and her talent for writing op-eds, especially given the current climate. Her home country clearly offers abundant opportunities for her to make a meaningful impact.
As femicide rises in Turkey, the government has rolled back protection for women. In the recent double murders of two 19 year old women İkbal Uzuner and Ayşenur Halil, there has been a broadcast ban in covering their murders. Women have taken to the streets in protest pic.twitter.com/VNVShsgTDS

A young woman taken into custody during the ongoing protests in Turkey details the sexual harassment she suffered in the hands of the male police, and the mocking statements of female police that she approached for help. https://t.co/JAoJHFJCQc

Witness: "Women protestors were kicked in between their legs, leading to bleeding, I listened first hand from students. I turned my back and cried." https://t.co/7bgqVr1iFH
Great to join @BBCWomansHour for a discussion w/ feminist activist Feride Eralp about women protesting in Turkey - femicides rising here, tough economy hits women harder, women's rights being eroded & there are few female politicians: https://t.co/Niyc8kVGKI
