Turkish PhD student Rumeysa Ozturk was detained by masked U.S. ICE agents yesterday while heading to an Iftar dinner in Massachusetts. Ozturk, who held a valid F-1 visa and studied at Tufts University, was reportedly being watched for two days before her arrest. She was on the phone with her mother when she was arrested. Her visa had been suddenly terminated—reasons still unclear. Ozturk had co-authored an op-ed urging Tufts to recognize the Palestinian genocide and divest from firms linked to Israel. She was also listed on Canary Mission, a site that blacklists pro-Palestine activists.
