US EditionTufts University student Rümeysa Öztürk arrives back home after spending six weeks at a Louisiana detention center
- Tufts University student Rümeysa Öztürk returned to Boston on Saturday after over six weeks in a Louisiana detention center.
- Her detention followed the revocation of her student visa after she co-wrote a pro-Palestinian op-ed last year, which the government linked to support for Hamas without evidence.
- Öztürk was arrested by masked ICE agents in Massachusetts in March, transferred through Vermont, and faced hearings to challenge her detention and alleged constitutional rights violations.
- A federal judge ordered her release on bail with no travel restrictions, stating the government offered no evidence beyond the op-ed, and Öztürk said she is 'excited to get back to my studies.'
- Her case continues in court as supporters emphasize potential First and Fifth Amendment violations, and Öztürk expressed faith in the American justice system despite the difficult period.
