I traveled to Louisiana with @markey.senate.gov & @repmcgovern.bsky.social to visit the ICE facilities Mahmoud Khalil & my constituent Rümeysa Öztürk are being unlawfully held in harrowing conditions.

This was never about national security. It was always about silencing dissent, restricting due process and sowing fear on campuses & in immigrant communities. While we wait to learn how many visas will be restored, one thing's clear: Rümeysa Öztürk must be immediately released.

The Trump administration is restoring all legal statuses of international students who have had their records terminated in recent weeks, a government attorney says, as ICE crafts a new policy that will “provide a framework for status record termination.”

On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember and mourn the 6 million Jewish lives stolen. The parents, babies, elders, and loved ones senselessly killed. Our destinies are tied, and we must continue working to end antisemitism and root out hate in all its forms.

The #MA7 is not simply a congressional district—it is a community. And in the face of a dictator, we resist—because the only way to beat a dictator is with defiance. TY to everyone who joined us in Somerville for our town hall with Mayor Katjana Ballantyne.

Rümeysa & Mahmoud’s kidnappings aren’t an anomaly—they're the latest in an alarming pattern to stifle civil liberties. Silencing dissent is unlawful, unjust, and authoritarian through and through. And we will not allow this abuse of power to go unchecked. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/04/22/n...
‘This is not immigration enforcement.’ Mass. lawmakers return from visiting ICE detention centers in Louisiana - The Boston Globe
At a press conference Tuesday, Senator Ed Markey and Representative Ayanna Pressley harshly condemned the treatment of Rümeysa Öztürk, a PhD student at Tufts University, and other detainees.

Molly McGovern lived life authentically and gave others courage to do the same. Molly was a light and force for good. She was deeply loving and kind. She loved her family. Conan & I extend our heartfelt condolences to our friends @repmcgovern.bsky.social, Lisa, & Patrick. Molly will be so missed.

To Rümeysa, Mahmoud, and everyone who has been harmed by this lawless White House: we see you and we won't stop fighting for you. To Donald Trump: your abuses of power and attacks on our constitutional rights will NOT go unchecked.

This is what leadership looks like. Thank you to @markey.senate.gov, @pressley.house.gov and @repmcgovern.bsky.social for demanding the release of Rümeysa Öztürk. Her ongoing unlawful detention is a retaliatory attack on her First Amendment rights. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/04/22/n...

The visit is an escalation of lawmakers’ advocacy for Mahmoud Khalil, a graduate student at Columbia University, and Rümeysa Öztürk a Fulbright scholar at Tufts.

We can't stand by while the Trump Administration violates free speech and unlawfully detains people with no due process. I’m in Louisiana to meet directly with my constituent Rümeysa Öztürk & Mahmoud Khalil, to demand accountability, and to call for their immediate release.
Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@pressley.house.govApr 22(source)
This #EarthDay, we must all commit to fighting Trump's unconscionable attacks to gut our country’s most fundamental environmental & public health protections. This is our planet, our power, and we will organize & fight for a safe, livable home for us all.
