A federal judge in Massachusetts has temporarily barred the deportation of a Turkish doctoral student at Tufts University who was detained by US immigration officials. Rumeysa Ozturk, who voiced support for Palestinians in Israel's war in Gaza, was taken into custody and had her visa revoked. The US Department of Homeland Security accused Ozturk of engaging in activities in support of Hamas. Efforts to secure her release are ongoing, with consular and legal support being provided by Turkish diplomatic missions. The American Civil Liberties Union has joined her legal defense team, filing a lawsuit claiming her detention violates her rights to free speech and due process.
