US Authorities Detain Turkish Student at Tufts University Over Visa Violation

Rumeysa Ozturk, a 30-year-old Turkish doctoral student at Tufts University, was arrested by US immigration authorities near her home in Somerville, Massachusetts. She had her visa revoked after voicing support for Palestinians during Israel's war in Gaza. A US district judge ordered her detention in Massachusetts for at least 48 hours with advance notice required before relocation. Her supporters condemn the arrest as an attack on free speech, while the Trump administration argues that some protests can undermine foreign policy.
