['Ricardo Sanchez']

Date: 2025-03-26

BOSTON – Today, Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley (MA-07) issued the following statement on reports that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested and detained Rumeysa Ozturk, an international student with legal status in a graduate program at Tufts University.

“This is a horrifying violation of Rumeysa’s constitutional rights to due process and free speech. She must be immediately released,” said Rep. Pressley. “And we won’t stand by while the Trump Administration continues to abduct students with legal status and attack our fundamental freedoms.”

Yesterday, Rep. Pressley issued a statement following reports of ICE activity in Boston and other municipalities in Massachusetts.
