A federal judge in Vermont has ordered the immediate release of Tufts University graduate student Rumeysa Öztürk from ICE detention after she was held for six weeks. The ruling came amid concerns raised over the lack of evidence against her and her status as a student and activist. The judge emphasized that there was no evidence justifying her detention and granted her bail, allowing Öztürk to return to Massachusetts to continue her studies. Her case gained significant media attention, sparking discussions about immigration policies and free speech.
