Rumeysa Ozturk, a Tufts University doctoral student detained under Donald Trump's immigration policies, has been ordered released by a US District Judge. The judge ruled her detention did not serve a public safety risk, and continued custody would infringe on free speech rights. Ozturkâs legal team argued her detention was unconstitutional, igniting discussions on the impacts of such policies on activists. Following her release order, Ozturk expressed relief while highlighting the injustice of being detained for advocating against oppression.
Ozturk recounted her experience of detention, expressing profound fear and distress, shedding light on the treatment of pro-Palestine activists under immigration policies.
Judge Sessions emphasized that her continued detention could deter free speech, advocating for the rights of non-citizens and stressing constitutional protections.
