Detaining and attempting to deport someone for writing an op-ed the government disagrees with is a blatant violation of the First Amendment. We’re in court today in Vermont to demand that ICE immediately releases Tufts student Rümeysa Öztürk.

Yes, Booker's speech was really long, but it was also a really good speech. "For God's sake, this is America. Every one of our founder's documents is riddled with words that speak to our commitment to each other. Yeah, they were imperfect geniuses, but they were people that aspired to virtue."

BREAKING: We and @aclum.bsky.social are joining Tufts student Rümeysa Öztürk’s legal team after plain-clothes ICE agents unlawfully detained her because of an op-ed she wrote. This is an appalling violation of the First Amendment.

The arrest and detention of Rumeysa Ozturk is deeply disturbing. The Trump admin is ripping students like Rumeysa out of their communities without due process. We will not stay silent. @pressley.house.gov, @markey.senate.gov, and I led over 30 of our colleagues in demanding answers.

These churches offer shelter and sanctuary to vulnerable migrants. Here’s why. Presbyterian churches, including St. Andrew's in Austin and Lake View in Chicago, are stepping up efforts to provide support to vulnerable migrants amid heightened immigration enforcement.

Dear college graduates: If your alma mater still supports racial and gender diversity and hasn't caved, send them a check and a lil love note ❤️ Dear parents of prospective students: Ask schools whether they will continue to support diversity Now we find out which schools actually have principles
