"In peacetime targeting civilians—even suspected criminals—who pose no threat of imminent violence is considered murder. In an armed conflict it is a war crime," writes Charlie Savage. Trump "is blurring a line between enforcing the law and waging a war." www.nytimes.com/2025/10/24/u...

This is a glaring violation of the First Amendment, which guarantees everyone in the U.S. the right to free speech — regardless of immigration status. DHS is also targeting Vijandre over his refusal to accept an FBI request to “spy” on the pro-Palestinian movement.

The Trump admin is continuing to target young people who express pro-Palestinian views — even after a federal judge ruled these attacks unconstitutional. ICE swarmed Jacob (Yaa’kub) Ira Vijandre — a DACA recipient from the Philippines — outside his home and disappeared him to a detention center. 🧵⬇️
