A federal court today ordered the release of Rümeysa Öztürk. This comes more than 6 weeks after the Trump administration abducted her bc of an op-ed she co-authored. With this ruling, she will be able to return to her community and continue her studies while the case proceeds.

As one of Mohsen’s @CUNY_CLEAR lawyers said, Mohsen’s release is a “victory for everyone else in this country invested in the very ability to dissent, who want to be able to speak out... without fear that they will be abducted by masked men.”

CA2, 8-5, says naturalized citizens charged with crimes have the 6th Amendment right to a lawyers' advice that a guilty plea may result in denaturalization and deportation. Majority is all-Dem + GWB judge who switched his vote. Dissent is all Republican. https://t.co/X5MNDnsLZK
