Faculty group demands release of Cal State professor ‘kidnapped’ by ICEA California State University faculty group is demanding the release of a professor it claims was “kidnapped” for no reason by federal agents.The California Faculty Association, an “anti-racism, social justice union” that has 29,000 members, claimed on Instagram Saturday that “four masked agents” put CSU Channel Islands professor Jonathan Caravello into an unmarked vehicle “without identifying themselves” or giving a reason for the arrest.According to KTLA, Caravello (pictured) was part of a Thursday demonstration protesting the Immigration and Customs Enforcement raid at the Glass House Farms marijuana facility.The university confirmed that Caravello, who teaches philosophy and math, was in federal custody, saying in a statement “At this time, it is our understanding that Professor Caravello was peacefully participating in a protest – an act protected under the First Amendment and a right guaranteed to all Americans.“If confirmed, we stand with elected officials and community leaders calling for his immediate release.”But U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli posted on X Sunday afternoon that Caravello “was not ‘kidnapped’ by federal agents” but “was arrested for throwing a tear gas canister at law enforcement.”Officially, Caravello is charged with “assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers or employees.” He has a court appearance scheduled for Monday.
