Jewish students at Tufts University in Boston have published an op-ed advocating for the release of a pro-Palestinian student who was arrested by ICE officers. The students expressed their opposition to the detainment, stating that her actions, limited to speech, were not grounds for detention. The arrest of the Turkish national and doctoral student has sparked condemnation from Jewish voices across Massachusetts, with more than 100 rabbis signing a statement criticising the Trump administration's actions. The crackdown on pro-Palestinian students has divided the Jewish community, with some supporting the deportations as necessary to protect Jewish students, while others fear the administration is using concerns about antisemitism to pursue an anti-immigrant agenda.
