Something about this murder--that's what it is--feels to me even more awful than the executions we've witnessed. This lacks even the ugly humanity of sadism & rage on display in those murders. This is a kind of absolute indifference to, a disinterest in even perceiving, the realness of another.

I’m running for Congress in NY-12, my home. We have a demented, criminal president running the country like a mob operation—government by the boss, for the boss. We need Democratic fighters who will defend the rule of law and deliver government by the people. Join us.

The last year was very hard as my father was dying. It became that much harder when I discovered that AI played a role in amplifying his physical pain, and perhaps hastening the end of his life. It wasn’t easy to write about what happened, but I’ve tried. open.substack.com/pub/buildcog...

Halifax's mayor wants to pause bike infrastructure projects even those already approved and funded by council. So a couple of hundred cyclists - me included - showed up at City Hall this morning to politely show our disagreement. Active mobility infrastructure helps traffic congestion.

Read Rumeysa Ozturk’s amended habeas petition and complaint: www.aclum.org/sites/defaul...

Case 1:25-cv-10695-DJC Document 12 Filed 03/28/25|
Page 1 of 24
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF MASSACHUSETTS
RÜMEYSA ÖZTURK,
Petitioner,
V.
DONALD J. TRUMP, in his official capacity as President of the United States; PATRICIA HYDE, in her official capacity as the New England Field Office Director for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement; MICHAEL KROL, in his official capacity as HSI New England Special Agent in Charge, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement; TODD LYONS, in his official capacity as Acting Director, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement; KRISTI NOEM, in her official capacity as Secretary of the United States Department of Homeland Security; and MARCO RUBIO, in his official capacity as Secretary of State,
Respondents.
Case No. 1:25-cv-10695-DJC|
FIRST AMENDED PETITION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS AND COMPLAINT
INTRODUCTION
1. Rümeysa Oztürk is an international PhD student who was arrested on March 25,
2025 when six plain-clothes federal officers surrounded her on the street just outside her home in
Somerville, MA. Rümeysa screamed as a man in a hooded sweatshirt grabbed her. Several other
officers encircled her and soon covered their faces with masks. Rümeysa was handcuffed and
escorted with an officer holding each arm into an unmarked vehicle. For more than 20 hours, her
friends, family and legal counsel could not locate or contact her. After an exhaustive search, they
learned that she had ultimately been removed from Massachusetts and sent more than 1,300
miles away to an ICE detention facility in Louisiana.
1

2. Rümeysa has not been charged with any crime. Nor has there been any allegation
that she is dangerous or a flight risk. Her arrest and detention appear to be based solely on her
co-authorship of an op-ed in her school newspaper, The Tufts Daily, in March 2024. The piece
criticized the University's dismissal of several resolutions that had been adopted by the
undergraduate student Senate as "a sincere effort to hold Israel accountable for clear violations of
international law." It articulated the goals of the resolutions and the disappointment of the
authors before concluding with a request that the administration "trust in the Senate's rigorous and democratic process" and "meaningfully engage with and actualize the resolutions passed by
the Senate."'
3. Rümeysa's arrest and detention are designed to punish her speech and chill the
speech of others. Indeed, her arrest and detention are part of a concerted and systemic effort by
Trump administration officials to punish students and others identified with pro-Palestine
activism. When asked about Rümeysa's case, Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed
revoking her visa, adding, "we gave you a visa to come and study and get a degree, not to
become a social activist that tears up our university campuses."?
4. The Department of Homeland Security's website informs international students
and the schools that host them that the termination of student status may result in a requirement
to immediately depart the United States and may lead ICE agents to investigate whether a
student has in fact departed. It makes no mention of arresting or detaining students based solely
'Rümeysa Öztürk, et al., Op-ed: Try again, President Kumar: Renewing calls for Tufts to adopt March 4 TCU Senate resolutions, THE TUFTS DAILY (Mar. 26, 2024), www.tuftsdaily.com/ article/2024/03/4ftk27sm6jkj.

on the loss of status. In this case, however, DHS grabbed, arrested, and detained Rümeysa
before she had received any notice of the revocation of her student visa or her student status.
5. Rümeysa's arrest and detention are not a necessary or usual consequence of the
revocation of a visa. But like the revocation of her visa, her arrest and detention are designed to
silence her, punish her for her speech, and ensure that other students will be chilled from
expressing pro-Palestinian viewpoints. Her continued detention is therefore unlawful. Because
the government's arrest and detention violate the First and Fifth Amendments to the United
States Constitution and the Administrative Procedure Act, Rümeysa should be released.
JURISDICTION
6. This Court has subject matter jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1331 (federal
question); 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (habeas corpus); Art. I, § 9, cl. 2 of the United States Constitution (Suspension Clause); and 28 U.S.C. § 2201 (declaratory judgment).
Venue is proper because Petitioner had been detained in the District of
Massachusetts by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Massachusetts and under the
custody and control of ICE officials in Massachusetts at the time of the filing of this petition.
Defendant Patricia Hyde is the Director of the Boston Field Office of ICE Enforcement and
Removal Operations (ICE ERO), with authority over ICE ERO's operations and detainees in New England. Additionally, Defendant Michael Krol is the Special Agent in Charge for the Boston office of ICE Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), with authority over HSI
operations and detainees in New England. At the time this petition was filed, and when the Court
issued an order requiring notice prior to any transfer of the petitioner out of Massachusetts, ECF
No. 3, Rümeysa had only recently been arrested in Massachusetts and had not left the custody

and control of Defendants Hyde and/or Krol in Massachusetts. Sometime after receiving that
order, ICE officials transferred Rümeysa to Louisiana without notifying the Court, her counsel,
or Department of Justice counsel on this case. Meanwhile, Respondents withheld information
about Rümeysa's location from Petitioner's counsel (and apparently, from Department of Justice
attorneys on this case) until nearly 24 hours after she had been detained. On information and
belief, the movement of Petitioner to other states is consistent with, and part of, ICE's pattern
and practice of moving people detained for their speech to distant locations incommunicado and
in secret to frustrate the ability of counsel to file habeas petitions on their behalf.
PARTIES
8. Petitioner Rümeysa Oztürk is a PhD student at Tufts University. She resides in
Somerville, Massachusetts. Rümeysa entered the United States on an F-1 nonimmigrant student
visa.
9. Respondent Donald J. Trump is named in his official capacity as the President of
the United States. In this capacity, he is responsible for the policies and actions of the executive
branch, including the Department of State and Department of Homeland Security.
10. Respondent Patricia Hyde is named in her official capacity as the New England
Field Office Director for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
11. Respondent Michael Krol is named in his official capacity as the New England
Special Agent in Charge for Homeland Security Investigations for U.S. Immigration and
Customs Enforcement.
3 Counsel for the government has stated that he "has been informed that Petitioner was detained outside of Massachusetts at the time the Petition was filed," but has not provided evidence of Rümeysa's location at the time the petition was filed, or suggested that she was not in the custody and control of ICE officials in Massachusetts, ECF No. 9 at 1 n. 1.

Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying. They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks. From WCVB: youtu.be/PuFIs7OkzYY
