Tufts Students for Israel published an op-ed advocating for the release of a pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel student who was seized by ICE officers. The group expressed their opposition to the detainment and called for the protection of freedom of speech. Jewish voices across Massachusetts have also condemned the Trump administration's actions, with more than 100 rabbis signing a statement criticizing the arrests. However, the anti-Israel sentiment expressed at protests for the student's release has created a divide among Jewish students and locals, with some feeling turned off by the demonstrations. The situation has also brought attention to a resolution to boycott Israel in Somerville, which has caused concern among local Jews.
