#FreeRumeysaOzturk It will be interesting to see if the Trump Administration will comply with the judge's ruling and how members of #Congress will respond.

It has been ordered by a Vermont federal judge that Rümeysa be released and sent home. If ICE don't comply, we can kiss our free speech rights goodbye. #ICE #FreeRümeysaOzturk #FreeSpeech #ConstitutionalRights #EvilRegime #HandsOffOurStudents

ICE needs to be careful: bring unlawfully detained people through VT and we'll remind you what the law actually stands for. #vermontByVermonters #resist #freeRümeysaÖztürk #freeMohsenMahdawi #freeThemAll

A win for actual defenders of free speech. #freerumeysaozturk
Read the Judge's straightforward words today as he ordered the release of Rumeysa Ozturk:

"There has been no evidence that has been introduced by the government other than the op-ed. I mean, that literally is the case."

Judge Sessions has clearly had enough of the Trump admin’s spurious attempts to continue to detain Rümeysa Öztürk. They have flouted her first amendment rights & put her health at risk for co-writing an op-ed in a student newspaper. #FreeRumeysaOzturk
Judge Session: I see no evidence of risk or danger of any kind. The court orders ICE to release Rümeysa Öztürk from custody IMMEDIATELY. She is free to return to her home in Massachusetts. Also free to travel within Mass and VT. I'm not going to restrict her travel, because I see no danger of flight

We have a mental health crisis among children and teens in this country, and the Trump regime is trying to deport a legal immigrant who wants to help address that. #FreeRümeysaÖztürk
Rümeysa Öztürk says she has 7 to 9 months left in her PhD in child study and human development. She's describing the focus of her studies: child and adolescent media consumption.

(The judge and court reporter are having trouble understanding her with her accent and the Zoom connection.)

44 days of harmful unlawful detention. Union sister #RümeysaÖztürk #seiu509 wrote an op-ed asking Tufts admin to pay attention to a vote in the Tufts student senate to divest from Israeli state terror. No support for Hamas. No antisemitism. #freeRumeysa #freerumeysaozturk #solidarity #SEIU

Trump's unlawful detention of our students is not an anomaly.

They are part of his intentional and coordinated attack on our democracy and constitutional rights.

It's time to free Rümeysa, Mahmoud, & every political prisoner whose story hasn't made headlines.

#FreeRumeysaOzturk She has the legal right to live in this country like everyone else. I have a disability, there was a time that people like me where institutions like where she is now. We had to fight for our freedom too!
Rümeysa Öztürk was supposed to be transferred to Vermont from Louisiana today, but the government delayed her return. She remains thousands of miles from her home, sitting in ICE detention for speaking out on her beliefs.

Along with her entire legal team, our fight for her freedom continues.
