In a 26-page ruling, Judge Denise Casper denied the government’s motion to dismiss Rümeysa Öztürk's petition for release and renewed her order that she not be deported.

Some activists have sought to turn Rümeysa Öztürk’s case into a rallying cry against Israel, turning off some Jews.

ICE claims to follow Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, which would require Öztürk to have the same access to medical care as everyone else. Denying Öztürk her medication could potentially impede her disability civil rights (failures to provide ICE detainees access to care have been the subject of complaints under Section 504 in the past).
