Join Mark Arsenault, an Enterprise reporter for The Boston Globe, and Julia McDonald-Nieto de Rio, an Immigration reporter, as they dive deep into the shocking arrest of Rümeysa Öztürk, a Tufts PhD student. They vividly recount the outrage sparked by her untimely arrest in Somerville and discuss how community reaction unfolded. Hear about the chaotic transport saga, medical concerns during her detention, and the frantic legal efforts to secure her release, all set against a backdrop of national attention and alarming patterns in immigration enforcement.

On March 25th, Rümeysa Öztürk, an international student at Tufts University, was on the phone with her mother while walking to the campus interfaith center. Suddenly, she was surrounded by ICE agents in plainclothes and masks who stopped her and grabbed her wrists. She screamed in fear at the ambush, desperately crying out to her mother to call a friend for help, while the agents led her away. The video of the incident was chilling. The next day, what happened to Rümeysa Öztürk became front page news. An international student had been arrested, seemingly because of an op-ed she wrote in a student newspaper. In the six weeks that Rümeysa Öztürk was held in detention, she became a symbol of the lengths the Trump administration was willing to go in the largest deportation effort in United States’ history. Globe reporters Giulia McDonnell Nieto del Rio and Mark Arsenault spent months uncovering what led to the arrest and what happened after, inside and outside of detention. This podcast reveals the in-depth story of one student and the implications for freedom of speech and democracy in America. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Hull Massachusetts is a tiny beautiful beachfront community in a continuous battle against nature. The town sits on a low lying skinny peninsula prone to flooding from hide tides and storms. When the town floods, homes are damaged, residents can be cut off from the mainland, and emergency services lose access to parts of the town.  Everyone agrees this is a problem. And yet local government and citizen action groups sometimes disagree about what to do about it.  Chris Krahforst, the town’s director of climate adaptation and conservation, does his best to keep Hull’s beaches intact and advocate for residents to learn about climate change and adapt or prepare. Liz Kay, a resident, organizes outreach programs and is active on a few community citizen action groups dedicated to disseminating information about flooding, climate change, and what to do about it (or not).  Bartley Kelly, the town’s building commissioner and elected chairman of the redevelopment authority, thinks the town should continue to build to revitalize the economy – and remains skeptical about sea level rise and climate change. Bryan Fenelon, a born and raised resident of Hull, thinks something ought to be done quickly, without so much red tape.  To read more about flooding in Massachusetts, with maps, charts, and more, check out The Boston Globe's flooding package here.

Frank Smith is very likely the longest-serving prisoner, ever, in the United States. He spent around 85 years in the justice system. He was in prison for the Battle of Stalingrad, and the liberation of Auschwitz. He was in custody during Elvis’s debut on The Ed Sullivan Show, the opening of the first McDonald’s franchise, the wars in both Korea and Vietnam, and the moon landing. He missed the introduction of credit cards and the September 11th attacks and the invention of the Internet, a development he regards with some suspicion. Almost everyone he knew before he went away is dead.This is his story.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
