Tufts University doctoral student Rümeysa Öztürk was released from a Louisiana detention center Friday, six weeks after masked federal agents took her into custody amid the Trump administration’s effort to deport noncitizens who have protested against the war in Gaza.
That’s wild considering she was abducted in broad daylight and spent 6 weeks unjustly detained.
EDIT: She also had great luck that the video of her arrest went viral. I don’t think she would be free without it and the group of supporters that formed afterwards. It’s easy then to have faith in the american justice system, but it’s naive to think that other low profile cases will be treated equally.
