A Congressional delegation traveled to Louisiana on Tuesday to demand the release of Rümeysa Öztürk, a PhD student at Tufts University, and Mahmoud Khalil, a 2024 Columbia University graduate, and to examine conditions at their separate detention facilities.
It’s the first time a delegation has visited with either detainee. The visit was first reported by CNN.
Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) shared on X that he was heading to Louisiana to demand the release of Ozturk, one of his constituents.
Markey was joined by fellow Democrats, Reps. Troy Carter (La.), Bennie Thompson (Miss.), Ayanna Pressley and Jim McGovern (Mass.).
Ozturk’s arrest and detention sparked widespread concern after immigration officers in plain clothes detained her on March 25 and placed her in an unmarked van. She was sent from Massachusetts to New Hampshire, then Vermont and finally to Louisiana.
Her student visa was terminated, and attorneys argue that her due process rights are being violated.

“What do we make of these cases then Freepers?”
Progress.
So, many of the J-6ers were in solitary confinement, some committed suicide, many driven to financial ruin yet these traitorous non-Americans are being treated like kings and queens with OUR MONEY going to defend them by congressional traitors to America.
did I get that right?
You did get that travesty correct.
How is Ozturk one of Ozturk’s “constituents”?
She’s a foreign national in the country on a student visa.
“many of the J-6ers were in solitary confinement, some committed suicide, many driven to financial ruin yet these traitorous non-Americans are being treated like kings and queens”
Plus, when GOP Congressmen stood at the prison doors demanding to visit J6 prisoners, they were denied access.
Fixed:
How is Ozturk one of Markey’s “constituents”?
She’s a foreign national in the country on a student visa.
Nothing better to do I guess?
Donald J Trump is living large in their hollow craniums .
The true constituents need to get themselves rid of this nonrepresentation.
The traitors in Congress are making identification of who exactly they are very easy for us.
Refuse to let them into the center- as they refused MTG and others when they tried to visit the J6 political prisoners.
Notably, we haven’t seen any of these out of control campus protest lately
no matter their reason, it’s obvious that democrats act very quickly for their own goals. Us on the other hand, no matter how righteous and morally true they are, make excuses NOT to act...
Until that changes, stay sitting down and enjoy the show as much as you can...

A “constituent” isn’t just a resident of a district, but wields political power through the ballot box. Given that we are talking about a Rat-owned area, foreign nationals may well be voting in their elections.
Her student visa was terminated no questions needed.
A degree does not give one immunity.
“It is also a habit of tyrants to prefer the company of aliens to that of citizens at table and in society; citizens, they feel, are enemies, but aliens will offer no opposition.”

Likely working with foreign agents which got them in trouble.
She was here as a privilege to study medicine at Tufts University. Her VISA was terminated because she violated that privilege. So, she needs to be sent back to her country of origin and her passport flagged so that she can never come back to the USA.
Exactly.
What do I make of them?
I call them a halfway decent start.
