JUSTICE FOR RUMEYSA OZTURK The situation involving the detention of Rumeysa Ozturk, a student on a valid visa, without explanation or due process, is deeply concerning and a threat to civil liberties. The actions of federal agents appear to target an individual based on beliefs and associations rather than criminal wrongdoing. Such secret arrests and disappearances have no place in the United States. This erosion of constitutional rights sets a dangerous precedent that could impact anyone. Immediate action must be taken to uphold the rule of law, protect free speech, and prevent violations of civil liberties by government agencies. Transparency and accountability are needed to maintain public trust. Preserving democratic values and protecting innocent civilians from unjustified government overreach should be a top priority. Strong oversight and safeguards are required to prevent abuse of power and ensure equal justice under the law.
