On Saturday evening in Boston in Boston touched the aircraft Rumeysa Ozturková and for a student in federal custody ended the six -week Odyssey, which aroused outrage at the immigration intervention of President Trump.
Her return to Massachusetts, where she was arrested in March, came one day after the federal judge in Vermont ordered to be immediately released from a detention facility in Louisiana.
Mrs. Ozturková, a Turkish citizen studying at Tufts University on a student visa, was among more than a thousand international students whose visas were abolished by the federal government and who faced deportation. The movements came when Trump’s administration escalated its attack on higher education and stated that its goal was to take root anti -Semitism.
Mrs. Ozturková wrote an opinion in a student newspaper, which criticized the university’s response to pro-Palestinian requirements. Her supporters denied that she was anti -Semitic and said she was detained in the retaliation for her manifestation in violation of the first addition.
On Saturday, her friends and former professors would be reflected in the joy of her release and would hurt that Mrs. Ozturková, a scholar Fulbright, who specializes in the children’s media and known as the diligent successor of the government, would be detained.
“It’s one of the most humanistic, compassionate and kind people I’ve ever known,” said Fatih Uslu Mehmet, one of her former professors, in -mail. Her college work, which focused on death in children’s literature, reflected her sensitive nature, he said.
On Friday, Judge William K. Sessions III of the US District Court for the Vermont district stated that her detention would potentially cool down “the speech of millions and millions of individuals in this country who are not citizens”. He also stated that the government accused Mrs. Ozturkova of involvement “in the activities of Hamas’s support” did not introduce any evidence other than the pro-Palestinian opinion essay co-authorized.
