This is an assault on the core tenets of our democracy. It’s unlawful, unjust, and authoritarian, and every person of conscience should be outraged and alarmed. Because if they can do it to her, they can do it to anyone else.
This should be a five-alarm fire for anyone who cares about free speech and our democracy — regardless of your political party, ideology, or opinion on Israel, Palestine, or any other issue.
And the only reason she was kidnapped is because she has a dissenting political view, different from Donald Trump’s. That’s it.
She was here legally on a student visa, before it was unjustly revoked, and making numerous positive contributions to the Tufts and #MA7 community.
This administration is terrorizing students to silence dissent because that’s what a dictator does.
Rümeysa is a peaceful protestor, a graduate student at Tufts University passionate about education, and my constituent who has a constitutional right to free speech and due process.
She was on her way to break her Ramadan fast, so I can only imagine how hungry and afraid she was. She also does not have her asthma medications with her—a human rights violation.
This is unacceptable and she must be released immediately and have her visa restored NOW.
The video of her kidnapping is harrowing. Plainclothes officers wearing masks surrounded her, grabbed her by the wrists, took her phone away, and handcuffed her before taking her away in a vehicle.
This week, my Somerville constituent Rümeysa Öztürk was abducted in broad daylight by DHS officials and sent to Louisiana to be locked in a detention center. She has not been charged with any crime.

The arrest and detention of Rumeysa Ozturk is deeply disturbing.
The Trump admin is ripping students like Rumeysa out of their communities without due process.
We will not stay silent. @pressley.house.gov, @markey.senate.gov, and I led over 30 of our colleagues in demanding answers.

Contrary to what Secretary Rubio desires, expressing a political view Trump doesn't like isn't justification for ICE to detain and deport students. Rumeysa Ozturk must be freed.

RM Maxine Waters & Members of the Cmte's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Working Group, Representatives @algreen.house.gov, @repbeatty.bsky.social, @sylviagarcia.house.gov, @pressley.house.gov, & @repnikema.bsky.social, sent a letter to Commerce Secretary demanding he immediately restore the MBDA.
Trump and Musk are attacking labor unions because they don't want workers to have power.
It's why they want to end collective bargaining and continue firing federal workers at will.
Now more than ever, I stand with organized labor because our destinies are tied.

Rumeysa Ozturk, a PhD student at Tufts University, is the latest student abducted by ICE for her political beliefs.
I joined @pressley.house.gov & @warren.senate.gov in demanding DHS release Rumeysa and provide answers on this disturbing trend.

Rümeysa Öztürk was kidnapped because she expressed an opinion that Donald Trump doesn't like.
We're demanding that she be released, her visa restored, and her rights to due process & free speech respected.

Fired employees.
Broken website.
Closed field offices.
Social Security is a promise that allows folks to retire with dignity.
But Trump and Musk are breaking it so they can give their billionaire friends tax breaks.
Celebrating with emojis in a group chat with a random journalist as they unlawfully authorize military actions.
The disregard for human life & national security is beyond the pale.
Everyone involved should be investigated by Congress & Pete Hegseth must resign.
