Tufts student says she has suffered multiple asthma attacks in Ice custody

Rümeysa Öztürk says she’s experienced difficultly getting care and had her hijab ripped off without permission

Maanvi Singh at The Guardian:

Rümeysa Öztürk, a Tufts University student who was detained by US immigration authorities last month, says she has had multiple asthma attacks since she was arrested and detained and has had difficulty getting medical attention. Öztürk, 30, was detained by masked, plainclothes officers as she walked in a Boston-area suburb on 25 March. A judge ordered that the Turkish national and doctoral student who was in the US on an F-1 student visa cannot be deported without a court order. But she remains detained at the South Louisiana Ice processing center in Basile. On Thursday, Öztürk’s attorneys asked the federal court in Vermont to release her – or to move her from Louisiana to Vermont – while her case is heard. In a declaration filed by her lawyers, she said that while at the Louisiana facility, she faced delays getting care for an asthma attack and was initially refused access to fresh air. When she was eventually taken to the medical center, she says a nurse told her to take off her hijab. When Öztürk refused, she said, the nurse ripped off her hijab without permission. “After a few minutes I put my hijab back on. But they did nothing to treat my asthma and gave me a few ibuprofen,” she said. In her declaration, Öztürk said that her holding cell is crowded beyond capacity and the unsanitary, damp conditions trigger her asthma. “The conditions in the facility are very unsanitary, unsafe, and inhumane,” she said. “There is a mouse in our cell. The boxes they provide for our clothing are very dirty and they don’t give us adequate hygiene supplies.” Öztürk is not the first to raise concerns about the conditions in the South Louisiana Ice processing center. In an August 2024 report by immigration advocates based on facility visits and interviews with detainees, dozens of women held at the center reported being denied medical care and offered rotten food.

Tufts University student Rümeysa Öztürk, who is being wrongfully detained in an ICE concentration camp in Louisiana, is suffering repeated asthma attacks and had her hijab removed.

My wife (an international student) just sent me this:

Their pain is palpable. I can't even think of anything to say, besides sign this petition.

Allow International Students to Finish Their Degrees | We the People: Your Voice in Our Government

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced today that international students attending U.S. universities which go online-only for classes this year due to COVID-19 MUST LEAVE THE UNITED STATES or transfer to a college with in-person classes.

Students should not have to choose between their health and completing their degree programs.

1. International students make up about 5% of the entire U.S. college enrollment and contribute BILLIONS of dollars annually to the U.S. economy.

2. It's already July and classes typically start in August. It will be difficult (if not impossible), cost prohibitive, and potentially unsafe for students to enroll in a new university

Please treat international students with the same respect due to any college student in our country! Please sign this petition!

What may happen with higher fees on H1-B visas? 

There are concerns that this increase in fees may have a negative impact on innovations in the US. On the other hand, people in the Trump administration believe that this policy change may lead to a notably higher recruitment of American workers by the industry. My sense is that none of these may happen in a notable way. However there could be certain unintended consequences.  It is obvious that…
