Rümeysa Öztürk, a Turkish graduate student at Tufts University, remains in federal detention after an immigration judge denied her bond following the revocation of her visa, a situation her attorneys argue is linked to an op-ed she co-authored about the Gaza conflict. Her legal team claims that her arrest and visa revocation were retaliatory actions infringing on her constitutional rights, and they are seeking her release or transfer to Vermont for further legal intervention. The case highlights broader issues of immigration enforcement and academic freedom, with potential implications for international students expressing views on sensitive topics in the United States.
