My name is Ranjani Srinivasan. I was a 5th year PhD student at the Department of Urban Planning, GSAPP. I was also a TA in the Urban Studies Department at Barnard College.

Some of you might have heard about my case. For those who haven’t, I would like to share the details.

    My roommate, an American citizen, recognized the knock as that of law enforcement.

    A truly US superpower.

      My man, we used to have the same thing during the darkest years of the communist dictatorship in Eastern Europe.

      We called it the “doorbell shivers”.

    So, privately proclaimed enforcers are being given classified information by the state institutions, so that they could exercise/execute swift justice to people proclaimed unwanted by the country.

    2 problems here:

    1. This individual is HIGHLY educated person (and should be direly precious to the country)
    2. Nazi germany - 09.November.1938

    Congratulations USA, you finally did it. You transitioned.

    Just solidifies my opinion that United States universities are crap at this point. Nothing but money grubbing instructions that don’t care about academia, only they’re million dollar salaries.

    I was surprised ice was working with other agencies to raid her apartment and arrest her. She could ignore ice, by not answering the door, but could not have ignored the others.

      Please don’t use LOL in these kinds of circumstances. You shouldn’t laugh off people’s attempts to fight back.
