Read the Judge's straightforward words today as he ordered the release of Rumeysa Ozturk: "There has been no evidence that has been introduced by the government other than the op-ed. I mean, that literally is the case."
“Her continued detention potentially chills the speech of the millions and millions of people in this country who are not citizens,” Judge William Sessions said during Friday’s hearing.

"There has been no evidence that has been introduced by the government other than the op-ed. I mean, that literally is the case,” he added.

“There is no evidence here as to the motivation, absent consideration of the op-ed, so that creates unto itself a very significant [and] substantial claim that the op-ed – that is, the expression of one's opinion as ordinarily protected by the First Amendment – form the basis of this particular detention.”
