A federal judge has ordered the transfer of a Tufts University student from Louisiana to Vermont while he considers her claims of unlawful arrest by U.S. immigration authorities. Rumeysa Ozturk, a Turkish national, was arrested in Massachusetts on March 25 and her case has gained attention due to her pro-Palestinian advocacy. The U.S. State Department revoked her student visa based on an opinion piece she co-authored criticizing her university's response to calls for divestment from companies with ties to Israel. Ozturk's lawyers argue that her arrest violated her free speech and due process rights.
