A federal judge in Boston has ordered the Trump administration to restore the student status of Rumeysa Ozturk, a Tufts University PhD student and pro-Palestinian activist. Ozturk's record in a key government database was terminated after she was detained by immigration authorities, following the revocation of her student visa due to an editorial she co-authored criticizing her university's response to the Israel-Hamas conflict. The judge found that the administration provided inconsistent reasons for her record's termination and that Ozturk had likely been unlawfully targeted for her activism. With her status restored, Ozturk can now resume work and research on campus as she completes her studies.
