Just noticed that clicking on the comic in the link opens this YouTube video, its not a rickroll. This is our government disappearing people for having the audacity to use their 1st amendment rights.
Wikipedia has a slightly better video:

I have to admit, I was in tears watching this.
A few XKCDs had made me cry laughing. This was just a regular cry.
Damn that just me like a truck. XKCD is always funny in some kinda way. This just gave me a snap back to reality moment.
It gives Randall-is-pissed vibes. Justifiably.
He’s come in pretty hot on certain issues before like global warming but this is a new level for him.
It’s a new level for fascism in America.
This gives Randall-is-pissed vibes the same way https://youtu.be/e47lHyQZ2I4 gives Bill-is-fucking-pissed vibes. I love both of them.
Is in his neighborhood (or at least former neighborhood). But we should all be just as pissed.
It’s worth noting that these students are being arrested because an extremist Zionist group called Betar is feeding names to the Federal Government.
There is zero evidence for any crimes having been perpetrated by these students.
Betar are extremely secretive about who they are funded by, with some speculating that this is an Israeli front.
The US government is acting as a goon squad for Zionist provocateurs.
The mentioning of Zionists as the responsible still appears to be a massive taboo.
It was so easy to name Russia as perpetrator for any alleged thing. But calling out Zionists still gets people labeled as an antisemite.
At first i thought it would be a joke about the difficulties of navigating just the higher education system. I am woke now
Well, it is about the difficulties of navigating the higher education system in the US as an international student, but unlike the ordinary XKCD comic, it’s not a joke.
If these are the new hoops theyre gonna have to jump through we are all gonna need an education. Do reeducation camps have post-doc openings?
The name is misleading. There is no education.
