A federal judge has ruled that Rumeysa Ozturk, a doctoral student at Tufts University from Turkey, can resume her research and teaching after her visa was revoked and she was detained for six weeks. Ozturk, who had co-authored an opinion piece critical of her university's response to the war in Gaza, was arrested by immigration officers in March and had her student record terminated, preventing her from participating fully in academic life. The judge found that the government's actions were likely 'arbitrary and capricious' and violated her rights, allowing her to continue her studies while her legal challenge proceeds. Ozturk expressed gratitude for the decision but also sorrow for the disruption to her education, emphasizing the importance of academic freedom and civic engagement.
