US Judge Orders Release of Detained Turkish Student
ai generated text
Rumeysa Ozturk, a Turkish doctoral student, was arrested by ICE agents in front of her apartment and initially detained. A US district judge granted her bail due to the fact that she poses no danger to the community and does not represent a flight risk. The judge ruled that her detention "cannot stand".
This is a woman who is just totally committed to her academic career.
We've made quite clear that lower-level judges should not be dictating the foreign policy of the United States, and we absolutely believe that the president and the Department of Homeland Security are well within their legal rights to deport illegal immigrants.
When did speaking up against oppression become a crime? When did speaking up against genocide become something to be imprisoned for?
Today, we moved one step closer to returning Rümeysa to her community and studies in Massachusetts.
Rümeysa has suffered six weeks in crowded confinement without adequate access to medical care and in conditions that doctors say risk exacerbating her asthma attacks. Her detention – over an op-ed she co-authored in her student newspaper – is as cruel as it is unconstitutional.
Completing my Ph.D. is very important to me.
