Unsealed records tie Tufts PhD student’s visa revocation to anti-Israel op-ed, not terrorism links
Newly unsealed court records show the Trump administration revoked Tufts University PhD student Rumeysa Öztürk’s visa and detained her largely because of an op-ed critical of Israel, even as DHS/ICE reportedly found no antisemitic activity or public support for a terrorist organization; a State Department memo later noted no alternative grounds for removability, and a judge ordered her release, highlighting tension between immigration enforcement and First Amendment protections.
