Three Massachusetts lawmakers have returned from Louisiana, where they met with a Tufts student being detained by ICE at a detention center, and said they will continue to fight for her release from prison.

The trip, Pressley said during a press conference outside the South Louisiana Correctional Center Tuesday night, was a way to “conduct some real time oversight” of the administration’s immigration practice.

The officials met with Rümeysa Öztürk, who has been collecting the stories of her fellow detainees. The post Mass. lawmakers decry ‘harrowing’ conditions at ICE facility where Tufts student is being held appeared first on Boston.
