Top Democrats are demanding answers from Trump administration officials regarding the arrest of Tufts University student Rumeysa Ozturk, calling the incident 'deeply troubling.' Ozturk's arrest appears to be part of a pattern of ICE arrests of university students with valid green cards and visas due to their political views. The Democrats are calling for Ozturk's release and the restoration of her visa, and have asked ICE to respond to their questions by April 4. A Department of Homeland Security spokesperson stated that Ozturk's visa was terminated due to her activities in support of Hamas, a designated foreign terrorist organization. Ozturk's legal team claims she had a valid F-1 visa status prior to her arrest.
