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.

McGovern’s remarks followed a trip with Sen. Ed Markey and Rep. Ayanna Pressley to a U.S. Customs and Immigration Detention Center in Louisiana to visit Tufts University student Rumeysa Ozturk. Ozturk’s detention, the group said, violates her rights as legal resident of the United States and a human being.

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.
