A federal judge released a Turkish graduate student on bail in an op-ed that she helped write about the possible deportation of the Trump administration’s anti-Semitism claims.
Friday’s ruling endorsed Tufts University doctoral student Rümeysaöztürk, the government’s latest setback, a crackdown on foreign students, who spoke of anti-Semitism in Israel’s war with Hamas in Gaza, Gaza. The judge released her with her approval and refused to limit her travel as required by the United States.
Öztürk’s detention “relax the speech of millions of people who are not citizens of this country” and they worry if they say they disagree with the government if they disagree with the government.
“I want to know immediately when she was released,” the judge told government lawyers after he ruled the ruling.
Öztürk helped write the column for the support Gaza people, who was arrested in March on the streets of plainclothes officers outside their home in Massachusetts and quickly moved to immigration facilities in Basil, Louisiana. Her lawyers say it was an attempt to incorporate her case into a more government-friendly jurisdiction. The federal court of appeals ordered U.S. immigration authorities to transfer it to Vermont on May 7.
Instead of commenting directly on the details of the case, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt reiterated the administration’s view that the court should not interfere in U.S. foreign policy.
“We absolutely believe that the President and the Department of Homeland Security are in line with their legal rights to deport illegal immigrants,” she told reporters on Friday. “As for visa revocation, the Secretary of State has the right to do so. It is a privilege for a visa to come to this country, not a right.”
Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller said the government is considering suspending habeas custody, which is challenging the constitutional right to detention.
“We’re actually looking for an option,” he told the media. “But a lot of it depends on whether the court will do the right thing.”
Öztürk testified at the Zoom hearing in Louisiana. She said being locked during the immigration process was undermining her research and exacerbating her asthma, and federal immigration authorities violated her constitutional rights.
The government argues that her activism undermines American foreign policy. She denied that the column she co-created was anti-Semitic. Tufts said the work is in line with the university’s guidelines.
On Friday, the federal appeals court in Manhattan ruled that immigrant students facing speech could challenge their case in federal court, which has brought another legal blow to the Trump administration.
The Court of Appeal issued the ruling in a federal judge in Vermont last month in Mohsen Mahdawi, a Columbia University student in Vermont.
The United States argues that the Immigration and Nationality Act deprived federal courts of jurisdiction in this case. The appeals panel said Mahadawi’s dismissal process could continue, and he arrested and deported the United States on constitutional grounds.
“Mahdawi’s illegal ruling claim can be resolved without affecting the process of dismissal yet,” the Court of Appeal said. “He asserted that the government arrested the remarks he disagreed with. But doing so would be unconstitutional – completely separate from the process of evacuation.”
Öztürk is Ozturk v Hyde v Hyde in U.S. District Court, 25-cv-374.
