One of the men goes for her phone. The other grabs at her hands. Ozturk screams. Shock and fear ripple through her voice. Two masked women join them, tugging at her backpack, peeling the straps from her shoulders. “I’m going somewhere, I need to call someone,” she pleads. “We’re the police. Relax,” one of the men says in response.
They surround her. Then, one by one, they pull their neck gaiters up to cover their faces. “You don’t look like police,” a voice off screen says. “Why are you hiding your faces?” The questions continue, but the figures don’t respond. Instead, they cuff Ozturk, cross the street, and put her in an unmarked SUV. She is gone.
Makes me think if they’re going after citizens if this gets normalized. Although I’m not sure what they can do if you’re a citizen, since they can’t deport you, unless they make some sort of terrorist claim and send you to El Salvador maybe?
They can
Why can’t they deport you? Does the jail in El Salvador care what the nationality is of the people the US is paying to hold and torture?
