Right now Judge Sessions is hearing arguments on whether #ICE gets to impose extra conditions of release on #RümeysaÖztürk, who is already out on #bail.

(Sessions declined to attach ICE conditions at the time of release last week, but said he'd consider a written proposal later).

Yesterday, #Öztürk's attys asked Sessions to reject all of ICE's proposed additional conditions of release, calling them unjustified & unjustifiable.

#ThreeGoodThings

1. Had lunch w/a student who is majoring in engineering and English. It was a joy to talk to her. We've agreed to read Ruth #Ozeki's The Book of Form and Emptiness and compare notes.

2. Another incredible student recommended Haruki #Murakami's What I Talk about When I Talk about Running. I have started it and it's inspiring me to continue working on another #memoir that is in its infant phase.

3. Rumeysa #Ozturk has been released.
