BREAKING! Turkish #TuftsUniversity student #RumeysaOzturk to be released
May 9, 2025
"A federal judge has ordered the release of a Turkish student at Tufts University who is being held in Louisiana after US immigration officials arrested her in Massachusetts.
"Rumeysa Ozturk, 30, testified virtually at a court hearing on Friday, where US District Judge William Sessions said the student met all the conditions needed for release and lambasted the government's case against her, according to BBC news partner CBS.
" 'Her continued detention chills the speech of millions in this country who are not citizens,' the judge said.
"Ms Otzurk co-authored an opinion piece in her campus newspaper that was critical of #Israel's war. Her arrest follows the White House's crackdown on what it has classified as antisemitism on US campuses.
"Earlier this week, the judge ordered that Ms Ozturk be transferred by 14 May to immigration authorities in Vermont, where she was last held before she was taken to Louisiana.
"The judge said Friday that she should be released immediately without travel restrictions, so she can go to Vermont or Massachusetts, where Tufts is located, as needed.
"Videos of Ms Ozturk's arrest, showing masked plain-clothes officers handcuffing her and taking her into an unmarked car after a Ramadan celebration, sparked nation-wide protests.
"On Friday, the judge heard from a number of witnesses in the case, including Ms Ozturk, a doctor and a Tufts University professor.
"During her testimony, Ms Ozturk told the court about her Fulbright cholarship and her PhD work. She said her asthma condition had worsened during detainment, and at one point, had to take a short break after suffering an asthma attack on camera.
"The government did not call any witnesses in the hearing.
"After hearing from witnesses for the defence, Judge Sessions said Ms Ozturk had raised 'very substantial' claims that her #FirstAmendment and #DueProcess rights were violated. He said the only evidence the administration had against Ms Ozturk was her op-ed.
" 'That literally is the case,' he said, according to court reporters. 'There is no evidence that she has engaged in violence or advocated violence.'
"Judge Sessions told the court that the government must notify him of when Ms Ozturk is freed and said he would deny any motions to block her release."

#DHS detains grad student who advocated for #Palestine and the "humanity of all people"
#RumeysaOzturk, a student at #TuftsUniversity, drew the attention of a pro-Israel group for co-authoring an op-ed
By Charles R. Davis
Published March 26, 2025 10:01AM Updated March 26, 2025 5:27PM (EDT)
"The Trump administration has detained a Tufts University graduate student exactly one year after she coauthored a plea for 'the equal dignity and #humanity of all people,' including Palestinians.
"Rumeysa Ozturk, a native of Turkey, was 'ambushed' late Tuesday outside her apartment, according to a statement that her attorney provided to The Boston Globe. Neighbors had seen agents in #UnmarkedCars monitoring her apartment for two days prior to the arrest, the outlet reported.
"'Her arrest comes after the #ProIsrael group #CanaryMission flagged Ozturk for having 'engaged in anti-Israel activism in March 2024.'"

A good crowd of solidarity for the rally and the picketing! Yay! I found a few classmates (one pictured), several professors I've had class with, and 3 of my elected officials (Erica, Ben, Willie)! #Tufts #tuftsuniversity #union #protest #picketing #maskup
Okay, now I am ready for today's activities! #union #protest #tuftsuniversity #maskup
Tufts full-time professors have been working without a contract since JUNE 2024!
Before then, their cost of living increased 21% and their salary only increased 13%!
The total cost of salaries for all faculty is only 3.5% of the university's annual budget! 
This just keeps getting worse!! #Tufts #tuftsuniversity #MedfordMA #SomervilleMA #MApoli
Fun fact! Tufts professors are paid so low lately, on average, that they qualify for subsidized housing and food assistance. FULL-TIME FACULTY ARE PAID LOWER THAN 80% AMI AND CAN'T AFFORD TO LIVE HERE.
#Tufts #TuftsUniversity #union #Somerville MedfordMA #SomervilleMA
Getting ready for my first protest in a while -- gotta make some signs to support the Tufts union professors who will be picketing in the morning! Nothing says love like the smell of sharpies at midnight!!
