Judge Orders Release of Tufts Student Detained by ICE
Rumeysa Ozturk’s arrest didn’t stem from an op-ed. Authorities “found Ozturk engaged in activities in support of Hamas.”
U.S. District Judge William Sessions III ordered the release of Rumeysa Ozturk, a Turkish Tufts PhD student, from ICE detention.
ICE detained Öztürk for allegedly showing support for Hamas. The government terminated her visa.
Authorities arrested Ozturk in Boston. They drove her to New Hampshire and Vermont, where they flew her to Louisiana.
In April, Sessions ordered authorities to transfer Ozturk to Vermont from Louisiana.
The media and Sessions claim ICE took Rumeysa Ozturk over an op-ed:
U.S. District Judge William Sessions III ruled that Ozturk had been unlawfully detained in March for little more than authoring an op-ed critical of Israel in her school newspaper.
“That literally is the case. There is no evidence here … absent consideration of the op-ed,” the Clinton-appointed judge said, describing it as an apparent violation of her free speech rights. He also said Ozturk had made significant claims of due process violations. “Her continued detention cannot stand.”
Sessions said the Trump administration’s targeting of Ozturk could chill the speech of “millions and millions” of noncitizens.
However, according to DHS, it goes deeper. From told Fox News:
A Department of Homeland Security spokesperson told Fox News that Ozturk was “granted the privilege to be in this country on a visa.”
“DHS and ICE investigations found Ozturk engaged in activities in support of Hamas, a foreign terrorist organization that relishes the killing of Americans,” the spokesperson said. “A visa is a privilege not a right. Glorifying and supporting terrorists who kill Americans is grounds for visa issuance to be terminated. This is commonsense security.”
Sessions’ order applies to Ozturk’s “immediate confinement.” Her possible deportation “will continue in immigration court.”

Possible deport?
So we are doing this for 20 million idiots
I’m willing to pay a few billion, hire judges that know their lane and why they are being hired, and get these scum the hell out of my country
YESTERDAY!!!
Set up a special court in Quanta amount. Ship all the Dem appointed judges there under Article 3 Section 1: in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish.
Then they can continue their due process until their hearts are content. Appeals can be made to someone who supports the Constitution and knows the difference between an uninvited illegal alien and a citizen.
Is this a habeas corpus claim? If so, Sessions has no more jurisdiction than Boasberg had in the case he tried to hijack.
I walked into a book store and asked the clerk if there were any books on how to deport illegal immigrants.
She told me: “Get out of here right now!”
I replied: “Yes. That’s the one.! Do you have it in paperback?”
Steven Miller has said at press gaggles that Congress has stripped Article III courts from immigration cases so why aren’t these courts being ignored?
Here are Miller’s remarks that you referenced:

Some history that I have reason to be familiar with, but most Americans aren’t. In the mid-1800’s Britain went to war with China twice. They were called the Opium Wars. If you do not believe me, look it up. Short form; Britain had one bugger of a balance of payments problem with China. They were importing vast quantities of tea from China, China would only take silver in payment. Britain found that they could grow opium in India and Burma, smuggle it into China, and use the silver that the Chinese paid for opium to pay for tea. Sound familiar?
China cracked down on the Brit drug dealers and Britain declared war. Basically, China got its butt kicked. The other great powers got involved in the negotiations to gain the same concessions in China that Britain got after winning. You may have heard of the “Open Door Policy” Short form, any concession given to any western power had to be given to all western powers. American diplomat Caleb Cushing came up with that idea, and also one called “Extraterritoriality”.
Once again short form, the Extraterritoriality concept was that since Chinese and western theories of law were so different, they deemed it unfair if westerners were charged and tried under Chinese law for any crimes they were accused of committing in China, so westerners were immune from any law in China. They left it to their home governments to file any charges under their own law after they got home. To in theory make things equal; Chinese in western countries [especially the US] were not protected by western law or our Constitution. We [I am of Chinese ancestry.] were literally not considered to be human beings and anything could be done to Chinese, up to and including murder. This was reinforced by several Federal laws in the 1880’s and the Chinese Exclusion Act.
My dad came over here from China just before the Depression; 12 years old, alone, and learned the restaurant business. In 1943 American KKK types here in Colorado attacked and lynched some Chinese airmen who were here to learn to fly B-24’s and fight alongside us against Japan. In order to keep China from pulling all their trainees out of the US, the US repealed all those laws and renounced Extraterritoriality. Suddenly Chinese were legally and Constitutionally people.
My dad immediately enlisted in the Army [he was near 30, which is old to start being a soldier] and ended up leading an infantry rifle squad across France, Germany, and Austria. For his services, he was granted citizenship.
The key thought that current events involving ICE and hostile foreign invaders brought to mind was that events seem to have been reversed, and it is American citizens at home who are caught by modern Extraterritoriality as any crime can be committed against them by foreign invaders with impunity.

Not every Chinese guy knows kung-fu, and not every Japanese guy is a samurai.
But if you want to take some time and look at some ethnic groups that not only endured massive racial discrimination, but *didn’t* drown themselves in a victimhood culture, and in fact out-competed everyone else no matter how unfair the playing field….well, I guess nobody is all that interested in the principle of personal responsibility.
The story of the 442nd, and the 100th, units that were legendary in their bravery and effectiveness, is one that is sadly under-appreciated. And maybe this is yet another mark of honor, that of the unsung hero.
My grand-uncle fought and died in Monte Cassino with the 100th, and my grandfather survived the war working for the MIS in the Pacific Theatre before and during the occupation of Japan. It wasn’t until 1952 that his mainland-Japanese wife was legally allowed to naturalize.
What this country needs is more rooftop Koreans.
lefty makes up the laws and ignores the real ones when it doesnt please them
thats why the no bail no jail blmplo agenda is whats actually enforced across america
and the courts are telling any DA’s ( who might want to prosecute) to ,,as Omar put it…f off
It looks to me like antisemitism is being made illegal, the result of a combination of common sense and a bogus argument that’s unable to use common sense, in which case the judge is correct on the free speech grounds – whether aliens are entitled to free speech is a matter that doesn’t have to come up except for the bogus argument’s effects,
The bogus argument is the battle of Holocaust cards between Jews and Palestinians. Both sides are wrong.
The common sense feeling (on the right) is that there’s something wrong with the Palestinians getting any support. The bad conclusion is that therefore antisemitism is wrong.
The right argument is that the Holocaust card never has anything to do with anything, on any side. The right argument is that one side acts morally (Israel) and the other side acts immorally (Palestine). This has to to with offering aid in the form of trade or treatment in its hospitals to the other side, and blowing those up or shooting them down each time.
Israel can win that argument, support for Palestine would disappear. The common sense result.
Your word salad is nonsense. The complete difference is that Jews DID experience the Holocaust while the Palestinians participated in the genocide. A fool ignores that basic fact.
In addition, your persistence that Jews are playing cards IS antisemitism and does trivialize the Holocaust. The IRHA definition states that “Accusing the Jews as a people, or Israel as a state, of inventing or exaggerating the Holocaust” is a contemporary example of antisemitism, taking into account the overall context. In this context, your persistence making false comparisons and calling it a Jewish “card” has taken you there.
Pretending that Israel can win the morality argument is silly, too, because it assumes that haters and dupes are operating with open minds. They could care about morality. As if you know the “right” argument anyway.
It’s also pretty disgusting that he deliberately conflates deportation over expressing support for a foreign designated terrorist group, which is a violation of her visa, as deporting her for hating Jews.
What “holocaust card”?
.
Hardin is a typical Jew-hater, in that he will never forgive the Jews for the Holocaust.
Your microargument looks like this:
My neighbor hates me because he doesn’t like my ethnicity. I don’t care what his ethnicity is, because it doesn’t have much to do with me, so I want to be left alone.
My neighbor wants to kill me. Any reason that I have to be left alone has no bearing, and I should simply accept the fact that he wants to kill me. My other neighbors believe I shouldn’t defend myself.
“Chill the speech of “millions and millions” of noncitizens”
I have absolutely no problem with this, Their non-citizens. I have to suffer the stupidity of muslim citizens. I shouldn’t have to suffer it of guests in this country.
This. Non-citizens are guests, and here at our pleasure. Spit in your host’s face, and you can expect to be ejected from the party.
Sorry- downvoted this while trying to upvote it.
Clinton nominated judge, Let’s hope there is no IV.
It seems judges and Democrats are completely out of control. This could go very bad very soon.
We are living in the age of the Political Commissar Judges.
And yes it won’t end well
When justice is not served to the just, the just will seek justice through other means.
The Left is doing everything it can to cause that to happen. When it does, they will use that as an excuse to come down even harder on Americans, thinking that they will triumph. What they refuse to understand – they know it, they just won’t accept it – is that Americans have the numbers, training and weapons to wipe the Left from the face of the Earth. It is only Americans’ moral restraint that is keeping the Left in existence – for the moment.
“The men who just wanted to be left alone”
“The most terrifying force of death comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. The moment the Men who wanted to be left alone are forced to fight back, it is a form of suicide. They are literally killing off who they used to be. Which is why, when forced to take up violence, these Men who wanted to be left alone, fight with unholy vengeance against those who murdered their former lives. They fight with raw hate, and a drive that cannot be fathomed by those who are merely play-acting at politics and terror. TRUE TERROR will arrive at these people’s door, and they will cry, scream, and beg for mercy… but it will fall upon the deaf ears of the Men who just wanted to be left alone.”

So, Article II court, which has jurisdiction over immigration, rules the immigrant has violated the terms of her visa and may be deported.
Article III court, which has no jurisdiction over immigration, decides it really is in charge and rules otherwise.
Hopefully, this ends with the Supreme Court taking that Article III judge out to the woodshed, then assigning them a certain amount of reading before being permitted to gingerly sit back down on their throne, keeping to their jurisdictional boundaries in the future.
Forget that nonsense. The president’s plenary powers give him the ability to ignore A3 courts.
It also gives him the plenary power to ignore the Supreme Court, since the Supreme Court’s plenary powers do not give them the ability to revoke or hinder the President’s plenary power.
In other words, the court needs to stay in its lane.
Yet another example of a rogue Federal Judge trying to rewrite Federal law thru judicial writ.
