She was trying to figure out what to do about it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The website published her r\u00e9sum\u00e9 and a picture of her in a red head scarf, and claimed that she had \u201cengaged in anti-Israel activism.\u201d It also linked to an opinion essay she had written with three other students in the Tufts student newspaper, critical of the university for not sanctioning Israel over the war in Gaza. <\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ms. Ozturk had never struck the chaplain as the activist type, or the face of a movement. She was more of an introvert, the kind of person who liked to be helpful and would stay late after activities at the university\u2019s Interfaith Center to help clean up.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">So Ms. Akbar was shocked this week when she heard that the government had revoked Ms. Ozturk\u2019s visa.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement investigations had concluded that Ms. Ozturk \u201cengaged in activities in support of Hamas, a foreign terrorist organization that relishes the killing of Americans,\u201d according to a statement from homeland security.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">At a news conference this week, Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke about her detention. \u201cWe gave you a visa to come and study and get a degree,\u201d he said, \u201cnot to become a social activist that tears up our university campuses.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Her friends and professors said that characterization did not square with what they knew of Ms. Ozturk. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t really make sense, because she wasn\u2019t a figure on campus,\u201d Ms. Akbar said. \u201cI don\u2019t think she was active in banned groups like Students for Justice in Palestine. From what I know, she was doing her thing, doing her Ph.D.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ms. Ozturk is one of many international students whom the government is seeking to deport after President Trump promised to combat antisemitism on campus and punish student protesters for misbehaving. Her detention suggests that the government is casting a wide net, finding not just prominent protesters who pushed limits and broke rules, but also apparently some who were more quietly involved.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The American Civil Liberties Union signed onto the case Friday and filed court papers demanding her release from custody, arguing that detaining her is a violation of her First Amendment rights, which extend to noncitizens on American soil.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cRumeysa\u2019s arrest and detention are designed to punish her speech and chill the speech of others,\u201d the complaint said. Her lawyers filed the complaint in federal court in Boston, naming as defendants President Trump; Mr. Rubio; Kristi Noem, the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security; and immigration officials. <\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">On Friday, a federal judge ruled that she could not be moved out of the country until the court rules again.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ms. Ozturk has not been charged with any crime, and her friends are at a loss to understand how the law-abiding, introspective student they know matches the portrait of a political activist being presented by the government.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cShe doesn\u2019t drive, but if she were to drive she wouldn\u2019t even have a parking ticket,\u201d Reyyan Bilge, a psychology professor at Northeastern, said. \u201cThat\u2019s the kind of person we\u2019re talking about.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Her friends also say that they had never seen any signs that Ms. Ozturk was antisemitic.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThis is not fighting antisemitism; it\u2019s hurting your cause as well,\u201d said Dr. Bilge, who taught Ms. Ozturk at Istanbul Sehir University in Turkey. Dr. Bilge wrote a recommendation for Ms. Ozturk for the Fulbright scholarship that brought her to the United States. She received her master\u2019s degree at Teachers College, Columbia University.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A surveillance camera captured Ms. Ozturk\u2019s arrest on Tuesday evening. It has received millions of views and stirred widespread outrage on social media. The <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/27\/us\/politics\/tufts-ice-crackdown.html\" title=\"\">video<\/a> shows federal agents in plainclothes and face masks surrounding her on the sidewalk. They take her phone and her backpack, handcuff her and hustle her into an unmarked car.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ms. Ozturk was talking on her cellphone to her mother in Turkey when the ICE agents surrounded her, Dr. Bilge said, adding, \u201cShe told her mom to call her best friend\u201d in Boston.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Her lawyer was not able to find her or to communicate with her for nearly 24 hours after she was detained, according to court papers. In the meantime, the documents say, she was without her asthma medication and suffered an asthma attack while en route to a detention center in Louisiana.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Another of her Turkish professors, Mehmet Fatih Uslu, recalled that her undergraduate thesis was impressive and reflected a sensitive nature. It focused on the representation of death in children\u2019s literature.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThe idea that she would support any form of violence is utterly inconceivable,\u201d he said. \u201cAllegations linking her to Hamas are entirely unfounded and absurd.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The group that cited her opinion essay, Canary Mission, says its goal is to document \u201cindividuals and organizations that promote hatred of the USA, Israel and Jews on North American college campuses.\u201d But pro-Palestinian students say it has exposed their personal information online so they can be harassed. The group does not list employees or its funding sources on its website, and it did not immediately return a request for comment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">ICE said in a statement that it was not working with tips from Canary Mission.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Friends said they did not really know how Ms. Ozturk came to co-write the essay. They suggested she might have been motivated by her interest in the welfare of children. She was studying child development. \u201cShe loves children,\u201d Dr. Bilge said. \u201cShe cares deeply about children\u2019s rights, women\u2019s rights, animal rights \u2014 plant rights!\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The opinion essay says that \u201ccredible accusations against Israel include accounts of deliberate starvation and indiscriminate slaughter of Palestinian civilians and plausible genocide.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It says the Tufts administration has been \u201cwholly inadequate and dismissive of\u201d demands that the university divest from Israel and acknowledge a genocide of Palestinians.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ms. Akbar, the former chaplain, said Ms. Ozturk had been wanting to organize an event about how children are affected by violence, and how to support them through it. \u201cI think she was inspired by Gaza, and wanted to broaden it out to Ukraine\u201d and other countries, she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Dr. Bilge was having the Ramadan predawn meal with her family at around 5 a.m. when she found out about Ms. Ozturk\u2019s detention. She recalled her phone being filled with messages of people reaching out to her, from both the United States and Turkey, asking if she had heard the news.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThinking \u2018Rumeysa\u2019 and \u2018being detained\u2019 within the same sentence, same paragraph, it was unbelievable,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Dr. Bilge said that before this week, she was not aware of the essay. But she said she would have fully supported it because the tone of the writing was \u201cpeaceful\u201d and \u201cgrounded in the values of academic inquiry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">She said that friends of hers abroad were already reconsidering whether to cancel trips for conferences in the United States. \u201cWhy would you go through that stress of thinking you could be detained at any point?\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-798hid etfikam0\">Ang Li<!-- --> contributed reporting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion
