Today, our client Rümeysa Öztürk was released on bail from ICE detention in Louisiana, and she will return to New England to continue her studies.

Crucial that the judge released her on her own recognizance. ICE wanted her to be on an order of supervision with travel restrictions and possibly even an ANKLE monitor.
Not going to put travel restriction on her because she poses no flight risk.

She's an academic and engaged in her career, so she will likely need to travel.

I order that she will be released on her own recognizance and the Burlington Center for Justice may supervise her.

Republicans are going to use the war as a way to double down on targeting protestors and Muslims. And as MTG has shown, they’ll also be coming for progressive Jews.

Very important we understand that this war is being used by fascists in Israel and here to secure power.
