"A federal judge has allowed a Tufts University student from Turkey to resume research and teaching while she deals with the consequences of having her visa revoked by the Trump administration, leading to six weeks of detention. Rumeysa Ozturk, a PhD student studying children's relationship to social media, was among the first people arrested as the Trump administration began targeting foreign-born students and activists involved in pro-Palestinian advocacy."
"She had co-authored an op-ed criticizing her university's response to Israel and the war in Gaza. Immigration enforcement officers took her away in an unmarked vehicle, in an encounter caught on video in March outside her Somerville residence. Ozturk has been out of a Louisiana immigrant detention center since May and back on the Tufts campus. But she's been unable to teach or participate in research"
A federal judge allowed Rumeysa Ozturk to resume research and teaching while she challenges the consequences of her visa revocation. Ozturk, a Turkish PhD student studying children's relationship to social media, was detained for six weeks after being arrested among early targets of enforcement aimed at foreign-born students and pro-Palestinian activists. She co-authored an op-ed critical of her university's response to Israel and the Gaza war and was taken in an unmarked vehicle outside her home. She returned from a Louisiana detention center but could not teach or research because her SEVIS record was terminated. The judge found the termination likely arbitrary, contrary to law, and violative of the First Amendment, while the government argued jurisdiction and legality of the termination.
