"[E]fforts to limit or counteract #CanaryMission and #Betar’s campaigns of #doxing and #harassment through the legislatures and courts have to this point proven fruitless. The same constitutionally protected rights that these and other groups seek to undermine for pro-#Palestine activists insulate them, to some extent, from legal retaliation from their victims. Where, then, might we go from here?"

The Baffler · For Betar or Worse | Hannah GaisUnder the guise of fighting antisemitism, the Trump administration has turned to groups like Canary Mission and Betar.

Canary Mission, an anonymous pro-Israel group and website, has been blacklisting pro-Palestinian students, professors and activists for more than 10 years.

Now, the Trump administration has revealed that it has been using the list to target academics for deportation.

“Obtained exclusively by #WIRED, a DHS dossier on Mahmoud Khalil, the former Columbia graduate student and anti-war #activist, shows that analysts drew information from #CanaryMission, a shadowy #blacklist that #anonymously #profiles #critics of Israeli military action and #supporters of Palestinian rights”

I am exhausted this morning.

I was up until midnight playing Peglin.

When I decided to go to bed, I then spent time watching TikTok until someone started talking about #CanaryMission.

Then it was about 3 hours reading through people they were doxxing along with some anonymous “ex-Canaries” with similar looking apologies.

And I mean, using the same template on random Blogspot blogs with only one or two posts (including the “apology” post).

Why do I do this to myself?

"“Most” of the names of student protesters Immigration and Customs Enforcement was asked to investigate earlier this year were plucked from a pro-Israel website that aims to blacklist pro-Palestinian students and academics, an agency official told a federal court Wednesday.

The testimony from Peter Hatch, a senior official in ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations, came during the third day in a trial in Boston over the Trump administration’s so-called ideological deportation policy, which a group of university professors say has chilled their protected political speech.

Hatch said during questioning from a lawyer for the professors that in early March he was given a list of names of students for his agency to investigate and that “most” of those names came from the website Canary Mission, but also from other places.

The list was produced by a Department of Homeland Security team created in March to gather reports on people involved in student protests to submit to the State Department."

This pro-Israel group keeps a blacklist. Now it’s taking credit for deportations.

This is a long shot, but are there any pro-Palestine international students who have been doxxed because of #canarymission?

I am working on a journalistic piece that touches on this.

Specifically looking for those who have had visas revoked (which is why this is a long shot)

"Last week, the #MaineCoalitionForPalestine organized a protest of ICE detention of #ColumbiaUniversity student leader #MahmoudKhalil. Since then, ICE has operated as the #Trump Administration’s #SecretPolice, abducting a growing number of immigrant organizers for exercising their right to #FreeSpeech and protesting the U.S.-sponsored #genocide in #Gaza. The list includes #RumeysaOzturk, #YunseoChung, #BadarKhunSuri, #MomodouTaal, #RanjaniSrinivasan, as well as #farmworker organizer #AlfredoJuarezZerefino. Maine DSA member and Portland District 2 City Councilmember #WesPelletier spoke at the Portland Mahmoud Khalil protest and DSA chapters around New England issued a joint declaration reprinted below against the ICE abduction of Rumeysa Ozturk.

New England DSA chapters demand freedom for Rumeysa Ozturk

"Yesterday, ICE agents abducted Rumeysa Ozturk, a graduate student and pro-Palestine activist at Tufts.

"The kidnapping comes after almost 400 #ICEArrests in Massachusetts, as well as the #doxxing of Ozturk by the pro-Isreal website #CanaryMission.

"ICE’s abductions—of Ozturk, Khalil, and many others—is an unprecedented attack on basic #CivilRights in the name of U.S. Empire, whether those detained are peaceful #PoliticalActivists or undocumented #migrants seeking safety, jobs, and a better life.

"We must stand up against this brazen attack on #Palestine, #FreeSpeech, and the #RightToProtest.

"We must stand in solidarity with our neighbors and communities under attack from Trump, ICE, and all agents of #imperialism.

"Governor Healey, the courts, and the Democratic Party establishment are not coming to save us—we must mobilize, agitate, and organize in our workplaces and campuses to defend working-class rights.

In Solidarity,

Yikes 😳 Who Is Funding Canary Mission?

Inside the Doxxing Operation Targeting Anti-Zionist Students and Professors

“Like its campus spy operation, #Israel on Campus Coalition, #CanaryMission acts as a key intelligence asset for the Ministry of Strategic Affairs, a highly secretive intelligence organization that is largely focused on the United States, and the Shin Bet security service. Not only is it intended to silence anti-Israel dissent; its list of names is also used to prevent those individuals from entering Israel and attempting to visit family, including both Jews and Palestinians…

#DHS detains grad student who advocated for #Palestine and the "humanity of all people"

#RumeysaOzturk, a student at #TuftsUniversity, drew the attention of a pro-Israel group for co-authoring an op-ed

"The Trump administration has detained a Tufts University graduate student exactly one year after she coauthored a plea for 'the equal dignity and #humanity of all people,' including Palestinians.

"Rumeysa Ozturk, a native of Turkey, was 'ambushed' late Tuesday outside her apartment, according to a statement that her attorney provided to The Boston Globe. Neighbors had seen agents in #UnmarkedCars monitoring her apartment for two days prior to the arrest, the outlet reported.

"'Her arrest comes after the #ProIsrael group #CanaryMission flagged Ozturk for having 'engaged in anti-Israel activism in March 2024.'"
