"Rümeysa Öztürk is a PhD student studying children's relationship to social media. She was arrested last March while walking down a street 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. Video showed masked agents handcuffing her and putting her into an unmarked vehicle."
"The immigration court also terminated Öztürk's removal proceedings, the attorneys said in a letter to the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which has been reviewing her case. The department has the option to appeal the immigration court's decision, the notice from her attorneys said. A federal judge said Öztürk raised serious concerns about her First Amendment and due process rights, as well as her health. The federal government appealed her release to the 2nd Circuit."
An immigration court found on Jan. 29 that the Department of Homeland Security had not proved that Rümeysa Öztürk should be removed from the United States and terminated her removal proceedings. The Department of Homeland Security may appeal the decision to the Board of Immigration Appeals. Öztürk is a Tufts University PhD student studying children's relationship to social media who was arrested last March amid enforcement actions targeting foreign-born students and pro-Palestinian activists after co-authoring an op-ed critical of the university's response to Israel and the war in Gaza. A federal judge flagged First Amendment, due process and health concerns, and the government appealed her earlier release to the 2nd Circuit.
