Opinion | The Science I Would Be Doing if I Weren’t in ICE Detention
May 13, 2025 12:49Respectfully, my friend, I would LOVE to read the article, but I am in the unfortunate position of being a retired person on a fixed income. I give away 20% of my gross income to various charities, political and otherwise, but the dollar only stretches so far. Thanks for the thought, though.
This account, by a wrongly imprisoned scientist, correctly and unequivocally makes the case that migrants provide diversity, equity, and inclusion, making our country, our world, exponentially stronger. A diverse citizenry contributes vast resources of human experience, which strengthen all of us.

I would but...
I hate you have to have a paid subscription to read the article. I don't have money for that.
Ask NYT to make opinions like this open access.
The only reason she is in detention is that Trump & gestapo are doing it as a favor to Putin. It is disgusting that this is happening in America, and dangerous not just for scientists like her, but from all of us that will miss out on the treatment and cures these scientists can no longer develop.
My late husband was a research scientist. He was an immigrant. This just breaks my heart.
The brain drain - end of America by the Republican mafia who values local loyalty over foreign skill!
This article should not be paywalled
Yes this is a must read. We need to let this researcher out so she can continue her work. This is not my America.
Knock of the door at midnight is a gestapo tactic

Can we talk about waste and fraud? These women are unnecessarily spending months, perhaps years, in detention for minor offenses. Who profits? Not the taxpayer. Perhaps a private corp. And then add in the game of flying these people all over the country multiple times to evade the courts. Despicable
No.
Nothing from the NYTIMES
Paywall. Moving on to something else. Come on dude. 😐
