During a federal trial challenging the Trump administration’s efforts to deport pro-Palestinian activists, an ICE agent testifies that the orders to target Tufts University doctoral student Rumeysa Öztürk were so unconventional that he had to seek confirmation on the legality of the arrest.
Homeland Security agent said he had to ask a lawyer if Öztürk’s arrest was legal after orders to prioritize her case
Patrick Cunningham, the agent who oversaw the arrest of Öztürk in March, also told the court that he had no knowledge of any criminal offense she had committed.

Amid all the other news, it's easy to become inured to the basic facts here. Öztürk:
-Is not accused of committing any crime
-Is nonviolent
-Was in this country legally
-Merely engaged in speech that the administration objects to
-Has been locked up for six weeks
-Is not accused of committing any crime
-Is nonviolent
-Was in this country legally
-Merely engaged in speech that the administration objects to
-Has been locked up for six weeks
Now from Öztürk’s ACLU lawyer Esha Bhandari:
“Rümeysa Öztürk’s case is unprecedented and shocking. She has been held behind bars for six weeks while her health deteriorates for writing an op-ed.”
