Rumeysa Ozturk, a hijab-wearing student studying at Tufts University in Massachusetts, was dramatically detained by ICE last month and detailed the nightmarish conditions inside the Louisiana immigration detention center where she is being held. Ozturk, who is accused of supporting Hamas, claims she has been squeezed into overcrowded cells without access to essential items such as a Quran and prayer rug. She also alleges that she has been denied proper medical care for her asthma and faced mistreatment while in detention. Supporters assert that Ozturk’s arrest was a violation of her constitutional rights, as she was detained under vague accusations related to her expressing her free speech rights. The arrest footage sparked significant backlash, showing Ozturk being surrounded by ICE agents who handcuffed her while she was with friends. Ozturk’s case has raised concerns about the treatment of detainees in immigration centers and the suppression of free speech rights.
