What is going on in Turkey?

https://ift.tt/rIUMqWg

I'm a US citizen currently backpacking through Europe. I would like to visit Istanbul, but the State department has some scary-sounding warnings.

Security forces have detained tens of thousands of individuals, including U.S. citizens, for alleged affiliations with terrorist organizations based on scant or secret evidence and grounds that appear to be politically motivated. U.S. citizens have also been subject to travel bans that prevent them from departing Turkey.

What does this mean, especially the travel bans? Is Turkey a good place to stay away from right now?
