US Authorities Detain Turkish Student at Tufts University Over Visa Violation

ai generated text

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.

    US Homeland Security Department
    1. DHS and [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] ICE investigations found Ozturk engaged in activities in support of Hamas, a foreign terrorist organization that relishes the killing of Americans. A visa is a privilege, not a right. Glorifying and supporting terrorists who kill Americans is grounds for visa issuance to be terminated. This is common sense security.

    1. We unequivocally condemn the abduction of a young Muslim hijab-wearing scholar by masked federal agents in broad daylight. This alarming act of repression is a direct assault on free speech and academic freedom.
