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.
Did we just watch a woman get abducted by sex traffickers?
Assuming they’re federal agents, then yes.
Can you give me more information about federal agents doing sex trafficking?
Well, President Musk has been accused of helping Epstein’s trafficking, we know for sure that his Oval Office puppet was involved.
Your argument is that because Trump and Musk engage in sex trafficking personally that “federal agents” do more broadly.
Searching online for “federal agent sex trafficking,” I see a news article from a few years ago that undercover federal agents purchased sex from a victim during an investigation; that’s about all.
It’s the same principle as what you call 9 people at a table with a Nazi. These agents deserve no nuance.
I don’t believe that if you work for a sex pest that makes you a sex pest. That would mean everyone who’s ever worked for Weinstein is a sex pest.

It’s already dirty and now the dog collars are off. Wake up.
Believe as you wish, but if a person works for a boss that they know to be a sex trafficker, doing things sex-trafficking-adjacent, or at least illegal, for him, that’s good enough for me to declare that person a sex-trafficking POS.
Also, I don’t think for a microsecond that goons given this kind of power and impunity over detainees are going to refrain from sexual assault. We just haven’t heard about it yet (this time).
But, well, pick your lane.
A lot of them where. Way more of them knew something but said nothing than should ever be possible.
Just because something is new doesn’t mean it’s not real. Culture comes from the top…

You’re not wearing the right color hat to understand (tinfoil)
I read the comment from !SwingingTheLamp@midwest.social and thought,
“Yeah, I’d believe that the Venn diagram of POS people that get into sex trafficking and POS people that want to be ICE agents has a pretty large overlap.”
ICE is a black hole. People go in and disappear, until months later ICE representatives inform the next of kin they died in custody. But I feel like the amount of human rights violations that get reported by ICE pales in comparison to the ones that get swept under the rug. Especially now, with Trump’s 2nd coming. It could be bad, like the eurocentric world hasn’t seen in a long time.
I guess my hat is tinfoil colored.
I have my tinfoil hat at my side and I’m eager to put it on, just give me the conspiracy theory and I’ll bite.
If unmarked, unidentified people start grabbing at random students, you have the responsibility to intervene. Police must wear clothing that identifies them, show a badge, or be accompanied by uniformed officers… Otherwise, just shouting I’m the police isn’t good enough for me.
Not to defend it, but it looks like at least two of them have a badge hanging around their neck.

Given the reports coming out of the detention camps: yes.
