Öztürk did, in fact, have an asthma attack without her medications on hand
31. Counsel was finally able to speak to Rümeysa late in the evening of March 26. Counsel learned that she had suffered an asthma attack while en route to Louisiana.

This is great and all but I'm not going to forget that Liz voted to confirm Rubio, who is PROUD of this oppressive, unconstitutional, and undemocratic kidnapping.

The arrest and detention of Rumeysa Ozturk is deeply disturbing.

The Trump admin is ripping students like Rumeysa out of their communities without due process.

We will not stay silent. @pressley.house.gov, @markey.senate.gov, and I led over 30 of our colleagues in demanding answers.

By Marco Rubio's standards, Albert Einstein, Hannah Arendt, Zygmunt Bauman and Yeshayahu Leibowitz - all Jews - could all be accused of antisemitism and denied entry into the United States. If they were on U.S. soil, they would have likely met the same fate as Badar. This point was acknowledged recently by over 170 members of Georgetown's Jewish community in a statement condemning Badar's arrest. Before I said goodbye, Badar asked me to send him four books: George Orwell's "1984," Franz Kafka's novel "The Trial" and two by Hannah Arendt, "The Origins of Totalitarianism" and "Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil." He has since confirmed receipt. I will leave it to my readers to reach their own conclusions about what these requests reveal about Badar's thinking and his predicament. I will also leave it to my readers

A scholar of truth; her crime? A dream.
They black-bag vision for the digital regime.
Wrote resistance, now she’s ghost in the wires…
ICE got drones, but we spark the fires.

University leaders need to understand: they are holding INCREDIBLY good cards.

It is so rare in today's polarized era to have the support of 70+ percent of the public against the Trump admiministration on anything. Universities have that—AND winning legal arguments.

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.
