An immigration judge has ruled against the Trump administration’s attempt to deport Rumeysa Ozturk, a PhD student at Tufts University. Ozturk, known for her pro-Palestinian activism, faced removal proceedings initiated during the previous administration.
The judge’s decision allows Ozturk to remain in the United States while continuing her studies. The case had drawn attention due to concerns over free speech and political expression.
**Why this matters**
This ruling highlights the legal protections available to immigrants involved in political activism. It also underscores ongoing debates about immigration enforcement and the rights of foreign students in the U.S.
