Just saw this on my friend's Facebook. He is a professor.

[Eliot Rosewater]

U.S. Professor kidnapped and disappeared by ICE for nearly a day — he still remains detained.

Yesterday a California Faculty Association union leader, Professor Jonathan Caravello, was dragged away by four masked ICE agents while lawfully observing a raid. He was put in an unmarked vehicle with no explanation of where he would be taken and no access to his medication.

After a heart wrenching 20-hour search, he has finally been located, but remains in detention.

This is not normal.

Peaceful protesters, even American citizens, are being tear gassed and abducted by masked men with guns.

Yet in the face of this hate, Jonathan demonstrated the meaning of union solidarity. He stood up for his undocumented students and neighbors. We will never stop fighting for one another. And we won't be silent until our union brother is released. ✊

1. Should we keep calling them ICE Agents if they never identify themselves?

They could be Eric Prince mercenaries.

[calimary]

4. How 'bout "Chicken-shits"?

If they feel the need to hide their faces, isn’t that what they ARE?

Asking for a bunch of friends and acquaintances.

[AllaN01Bear]

8. cowards.

[Puppyjive]

5. I think they are

My sister's ex husband worked for some of those defense contractors and he is nothing short of crazy. Total white supremacy and ex military.

[OMGWTF]

9. And J6 felons who were pardoned by T💩p. Sure, he ruined their lives, but now they owe him big time.

[Magoo48]

26. No. They are masked bounty hunters and kidnappers.

[MayReasonRule]

30. Call Them What They Are Fascist Nazi Storm Trooper War Criminals Committing Mass Crimes Against Humanity

This has nothing do do with freedom and everything to do with establishing the forever rule of a fascist oligarchy.

Call out these bastards for what they are, what they've done and for what they are continuing to do.

Call them fascists.
Call them Nazis.
Call them Storm Troopers.
Call them war criminals.
Call them murderers.
Call them child abusers.
Call them traitors to humanity.

These individuals deserve no honorific.

These individuals deserve to be vilified, punished and expelled from society forever more.

[soldierant]

32. I saw the term "ICEstapo" somewhere.

[MayReasonRule]

37. ICE - US and ICEstapo Are Dead On Point

[LudwigPastorius]

41. Sturmabteilung

Translation: Assault Department

[bdamomma]

44. Or adding to

the Jan 6th Insurrectionists, who don't want to be identified.

2. Pacific Coast Business Times: CSUCI Professor arrested among Glass House raids

https://www.pacbiztimes.com/2025/07/12/csuci-professor-arrested-among-glass-house-raids/

Jonathan Caravello, a professor at CSU Channel Islands, was among one of the more than 200 people arrested from the federal agent’s raid of Glass House Farms’ operations in both Carpinteria and Camarillo on July 10.

In a statement, the California Faculty Association said that Caravello, according to witnesses, was arrested on July 10 after attempting to help a person in a wheelchair who had a tear gas canister lodged underneath their wheelchair.

CFA President Margarita Berta-Ávila said in the July 10 statement that while attempting to help the bystander, who could not see or breathe, Caravello was “abruptly taken down by immigration agents, dragged into an unmarked vehicle and taken to an unknown location.”

According to the Federal Bureau of Prisons website, Caravello is currently being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Los Angeles.

23. +1

[LetMyPeopleVote]

3. This professor will have a great lawsuit against these assholes

[Hekate]

14. Can you justify that assertion?

[mdbl]

29. I also don't understand that statement

The Democrats have nothing to do with this at the moment.

[Shipwack]

31. I think I understand it.

When this is over*, there needs to be accountability. Those who gave illegal directives and those who carried them out must be brought to justice. We need to show the free world and future generations that authoritarianism is not allowed.

We’ve been here several times before. Republicans do something evil, and instead of being held accountable, the Democratic leadership and pundits declare some variation of “we need to look forward, not backward”. Since there have never been any consequences, the Republicans will go even further the next time they decide to seize the levers of power.

Rinse. Lather. Repeat.

*I refuse to entertain any other possibility.

[orangecrush]

33. Which is why we are where we are now.

[Shipwack]

36. 1000% correct! nt

[The Wizard]

35. You assume the law will be something other than what

Diaper Don deems it to be. There is no more law.

[burrowowl]

6. Here's hoping we can still do something about it!

[Autumn]

7. Do our party leaders need to do another fund raiser?

WTF. Masked men with guns, still detained. Do we even know if they are "ICE" that kidnapped him ?

[lastlib]

10. AFAIAC, they're Gestapo.

It's time to treat them as such.

I wonder if anybody has thought of air-tagging their vehicles.....

[Figarosmom]

12. Maybe we all have to start carrying air tsgs or gps

So we can be tracked if we disappear. They take our phones but something small we can hide might be wise.

[Eliot Rosewater]

15. They're going to imprison or kill everyone non-maga

Until we realize it and react accordingly, we are fucked.

[bdamomma]

45. Do not

normalize their illegal actions it is about FEAR and INTIMIDATION!!!! Stephen Miller's name is all over this. He's a SF!!!

[DENVERPOPS]

22. Exactly

Gestapo...............

Dictionary definition:

: a secret-police organization employing underhanded and terrorist methods against persons suspected of disloyalty

[DFW]

27. It is an abbreviation

Geheime Staatspolizei

Translation: “Secret State Police”

Like so many other repressive aspects of Stalin that Hitler and Himmler admired, the NKVD (later KGB) was one of them.

[DENVERPOPS]

28. Thank you

for filling us all in........

[Diraven]

13. Is he a US citizen?

Because if he's not they'll revoke his visa out of spite so they don't have to admit they were wrong.

[coffeenap]

17. Yes, he is a citizen.

[coffeenap]

16. I posted about this--he is my grown kid's friend.

Has was disappeared until a few hours ago when friends finally located him in the LA metro detention center. Still no contact allowed, per a few hours ago.

[ClaudetteCC]

43. His attorney says he has a court case on Monday

[Initech]

18. ICE is out of control. This is fucking criminal!

Fuck ICE, fuck Trump, and fuck Tom Homan! May they all rot in the hottest circle of hell!

[BurnDoubt]

19. This is kinda like what I thought should have been done when armed militias started showing up.

It was clearly a mistake not to have done before they became normal. Now they shit on My freedom and satisfy their need to express their cruelty with tacet approval under guise of service to our Nation and their "patriotic" embrace of a Traitorous Tyrant.

[sakabatou]

20. To me, I'd consider every ICE agent a kidnapper/human trafficker

They don't care about rights. They don't care about the person they detain.

[Eliot Rosewater]

21. Agreed

[Justice matters.]

24. Yep, and from there, it's a never-ending escalation if nobody stops them

Inside Ravensbruck: The Most Horrific Nazi Camp for Women

Many thugs like them there didn't care either. They loved their cruelty.

25. Horrible inhumanity. nt

[The Wizard]

34. Trump's actions have rendered the Constitution moot.

And we're under his thumb until he merges with the Universe at which time Junior will assume power. Like North Korea, but without the good will and sense of humor.
Dante's 8th Circle beckons.

[Justice matters.]

38. The repugnant$ in Congress have rendered the Constitution moot.

They are accessories after the fact now.

In spite of the polls numbers diving further and further down every new release.

At what point in the polls did they tell Nixon he was cooked and it was time to resign or they would impeach and remove him?

Will they do the same to their scamming pedfelon at the same point or worst?

[BobTheSubgenius]

39. I have been sitting here, trying to compose my coherent yet accurate response to this.

I have no words.

[Martin68]

40. The "ICE-stapo?" The Secret PoLICE? Or just plain: The Thugs?

[snot]

42. Just curious: was he a citizen?

This shouldn't happen to anyone legally present in the U.S., of course; just wondering about the degree of whatever.
