A Tufts University graduate student, Rumeysa Ozturk, has been taken into custody by federal immigration authorities, sparking widespread concern and protests from the student body and other activists. Ozturk, a Turkish PhD student whose visa has been revoked, was reportedly detained in an incident described by witnesses as an ambush outside her apartment in Somerville. Security footage has captured masked agents arresting the student, raising alarms about the tactics used by ICE. Ozturk is known for her pro-Palestinian activism, including participation in an event advocating for the divestment of university funds from Israel. University officials have confirmed the detainment and expressed their commitment to supporting their student amid ongoing tensions regarding immigration practices and policies. A judge has temporarily blocked her removal, intensifying discussions around the treatment of international students in the U.S.
