🚨UPDATE: Rümeysa Öztürk has now suffered three separate asthma attacks while in DHS custody.

She has not received her required asthma medications—a violation of her fundamental right to medical care.

This is cruelty, it is neglect, and it is a damning moral and legal failure.

Pressley, Warren, Markey Sound Alarm on Rümeysa Öztürk’s Medical Neglect, Renew Urgent Calls for Her Release (1/2):

“It is unconscionable that Rümeysa Öztürk—a young woman pursuing her education, exercising her First Amendment rights, and contributing to her community—remains detained by DHS. Her ongoing incarceration is not only a blatant violation of her constitutional rights to due process and free speech, but it is now an egregious denial of her fundamental right to medical care.

Pressley, Warren, Markey Sound Alarm on Rümeysa Öztürk’s Medical Neglect, Renew Urgent Calls for Her Release (2/2):

“According to her lawyer, Rümeysa has not received her required asthma medications and has now suffered three separate asthma attacks while in custody. This is cruelty, it is neglect, and it is a damning moral and legal failure.

“As her representatives in Congress, we demand DHS immediately provide Rümeysa with access to the health care she needs, and absent compelling evidence justifying her detention and the revocation of her status, we call for Ozturk’s release and the restoration of her visa. Every minute she remains in custody is another minute her health and rights are at risk, and DHS must move with urgency.”

Some nice illustrations by Isabelle Arsenault
www.isabellearsenault.com

Paint and pencil illustration of a bookshelf with various characters. There's a rabbit in clothing emerging from a gap in the books, a chicken on a shelf, a snake, fish and a cat and bunch of flowers. A kid with their back to the viewer is looking into a gap in the books. Their face is peeping out of a gap in a different part of the bookshelf. The colours are black, grey white, blue and red.

Colourful painted illustration of a dinner party with various animals in human clothing sitting at a long table. Words in black type to the bottom right: "The house stood bright and full. Brimming with warmth and the smell of freshly baked sweets. And as dinner was served, there was a knock at the door."

Painted illustration of a group of characters standing in a garden. A small child dressed like a queen is standing on a balcony saying "listen up, people I've got a proclamation." The main colours are pink, orange, greys and black.

Here are some clear, concise Know Your Rights posters you can download and print in various languages. These are from MIRA (Massachusetts Immigrant & Refugee Advocacy) Coalition, so MA specific, but google "Know Your Rights Poster + [state name]" for an org near you.
