> Even if she's a serial killer, she shouldn't be treated like this.

In that case, especially, she should be treated like this.

> We have laws and procedures for how we treat people

And this is what those laws say. On a visa, the executive can chose to remove you immediately from the country, for any reason. That means Trump, since the election. If you don't leave yourself (that means an immediate one-way flight out), you can get deported. This is not illegal.

> I also don't really care that "well turkey is worse". Why does that matter?

Because 1) she's Turkish 2) she's religious

This very likely means she's an Erdogan supporter and will defend destroying Turkish academia by arresting, disappearing and deporting students and staff. To put it simple: on top of everything else she's Turkish version of a MAGA nutcase. She supports removing university staff and students on a large scale ... and now it happened to her.
