BU student’s posts leads to controversy and ICE raid at carwash

[FrostCircuit]

Wow ! I'm interesting to see how a single act of calling ICE on car wash workers can spark such a huge controversy, especially when it's framed as "activism" . It makes me wonder if people really understand the impact their words and actions can have on others. The university's response to call for civility and dialogue is definitely necessary, but at the same time, I think we need more nuanced conversations about what it means to be an activist and how to do it responsibly .

I'm low-key impressed by how much drama Zac Segal stirred up with just one tweet . Like, who calls ICE on car wash employees and expects praise? It's wild to me he thought his 'activism' would be seen as pro-American jobs , not anti-immigrant workers . Newsflash, dude: immigrants are human beings too! The whole thing feels like a PR stunt for the College Republicans . BU needs to take a closer look at their student leadership and what they're promoting on campus . This isn't a free speech issue, it's about being considerate of others' lives and experiences .
