Rümeysa Öztürk, a Tufts University student from Turkey, has been in ICE custody in Louisiana, where she describes experiencing poor treatment, including denied medical care for asthma and restrictions on her religious practices. Her case has drawn significant attention, with a federal judge suggesting she return to Vermont for a hearing, where attorneys are advocating for her release. Despite claims tied to antisemitism, the State Department found no evidence linking her to such activities. Numerous Jewish organizations have voiced support for her, highlighting concerns over her detainment conditions. As her legal team prepares for further hearings, discussions continue around the implications of her case on free speech and the treatment of international students in the U.S.
