A visiting Harvard Law professor was arrested by ICE after firing a pellet gun near a synagogue in Boston. The incident, which occurred on Yom Kippur, prompted allegations of antisemitism from the Department of Homeland Security. Following his detention, the professor, who claimed he was hunting rats, agreed to voluntarily leave the United States.
