THE MARKEY COMMITTEE

Ed Markey, here. I just got out of two ICE detention facilities in Louisiana, where I met with Mahmoud Khalil and my constituent Rümeysa Öztürk. Mahmoud and Rümeysa were arrested by ICE and taken to this facility for deportation. They are legal US residents who committed no crimes and made no violations of their terms of residency. Their only charge was exercising their First Amendment right to free speech. Both Mahmoud and Rümeysa were swiftly taken to facilities in Louisiana, over a thousand miles from their homes, because Trump wanted them under the jurisdiction of a far-right judge who wouldn’t challenge his plan to deport them despite their constitutional protections. I am doing everything I can to shine a light on Trump’s illegal actions, but the best way we can fight back is with continued grassroots action. Join me in standing up to this corrupt and lawless administration. Sign on to our petition right now demanding accountability for these arrests and the immediate release of Rümeysa and Mahmoud. Our movement is growing in strength each and every day, and your signature helps us keep that momentum going.
