Federal agents out of uniform and dressed in masks just pulled a Tufts graduate student off the streets, showing no warrant, effectively kidnapping her. Sure seems like Trump's disdain for people wearing masks in public doesn't apply to his secret police www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuFI...

Are we sure they are federal agents or the 1.5K that were let loose? It did not look like a SWAT take-down so, Why the masks?

The masks are used to hide their identity.

Yes, that's the very thing Trump says should be illegal (and that New York and Columbia want to ban)

If I were a bystander, I might call 911, so at least the event gets logged. Maybe even be captured by a local cop’s bodycam.

If I did something this shameful I'd wear a mask also. Hiding from video camera? Possibly but I doubt those are locked down either. 🤷🏻‍♂️

We need attention on the people who agree to this blackshirt thuggery. I want their children and parents to know what they are doing.

The scope for vigilantes to start kidnapping people off the streets (including US citizens) is now infinite.

For anyone interested, it appears that she was taken away by agents in a dark gray 2021 Ford Expedition with MA plates 2RGJ52, assisted by agents in a gray 2023 Nissan Armada with MA plates 3HMK55, and a dark blue 2015-2016 Dodge Charger with unknown plates.

I’m sure we can count on Columbia University to insist that federal agents in their dorms will be unmasked
