An immigration judge has rejected the Trump administration’s efforts to deport Tufts University student Rümeysa Öztürk, after she was arrested last year by masked immigration agents outside her apartment. According to her lawyers, she was arrested as part of the Trump administration’s crackdown on pro-Palestinian activists. Authorities had revoked her student visa for an editorial she co-authored in Tufts’s student newspaper criticizing the university’s response to Israel’s war on Gaza. In a statement, Öztürk said, “Today, I breathe a sigh of relief knowing that despite the justice system’s flaws, my case may give hope to those who have also been wronged by the U.S. government.”
