"Sessions ordered Ozturk be released 'immediately' and with no travel restrictions while her habeas case proceeds in a ruling from the bench a little past 1 p.m., concluding that she has raised 'a very substantial First Amendment claim' in her underlying habeas challenge, in addition to a 'substantial claim' that the Trump administration violated her due process rights regarding her detention as well."

"Öztürk was dragged off the street by masked ICE agents in front of her apartment in Somerville, Massachusetts, on March 25 — yes, that is six weeks ago — in a display of police-state theater intended to demonstrate that the Trump administration would use the full power of the law against any immigrants it can, including those who are in the US legally, like Öztürk, who’s working on a PhD at Tufts University."

"These are very substantial claims of First Amendment and due process violations. This is a woman who is just totally committed to her academic career in a caring and compassionate way. There is no evidence that she has engaged in violence or advocated violence."

"Her continued detention chills the speech of the millions and millions of people who are not citizens. The court finds her continued detention cannot stand and orders the govt to release Ms. Ozturk from custody immediately."

"Today, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrested Newark, New Jersey, mayor Ras Baraka when he and three members of New Jersey’s congressional delegation stood outside a private ICE detention facility in Newark called Delaney Hall."

"New Jersey’s interim U.S. attorney, Trump loyalist Alina Habba, posted on social media that Baraka had 'ignored multiple warnings from Homeland Security Investigations to remove himself from the ICE detention center…. He has willingly chosen to disregard the law.' But, as Tracey Tully, Luis Ferré-Sadurní, and Alyce McFadden of the New York Times reported, videos show him being arrested in a public area outside the facility."

"White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller told repor'ers today that voters elected Trump to “deport the illegals' and that 'Marxist' judges frustrating that effort are attacking democracy. In fact, Trump convinced many voters that he would deport only violent criminals, and they are now aghast at the scenes unfolding as masked agents grab women and children from their cars and sweep up U.S. citizens."

"On Friday, three Democratic members of Congress from New Jersey—Representatives Rob Menendez, Bonnie Watson Coleman, and LaMonica McIver—were admitted to tour the facility, and brought Baraka with them. After the mayor gained entry past the gate, the representatives tried to include Baraka in conversations. At least one of them was shoved by agents, and Baraka was subsequently arrested."

"The arrest of Mayor Baraka is an attack on all law-abiding citizens who object to ICE’s illegal conduct. Protesting illegal conduct by the government is protected by the First Amendment of the Constitution."
