Targeting of Tufts Student for Deportation Stuns Friends and Teachers
SHARE

Rumeysa Ozturk, a Turkish graduate student at Tufts University, found herself in a distressing situation on March 9 when she discovered that her personal information had been added to a doxxing website called Canary Mission. The website, known for targeting individuals involved in activism critical of Israel, had published her rĂ©sumĂ© and a photo of her in a red headscarf, alleging that she had engaged in anti-Israel activism. This revelation came as a shock to Najiba Akbar, the university’s former Muslim chaplain, who described Rumeysa as more of an introverted individual who preferred to help out with tasks at the university’s Interfaith Center.

The situation took a drastic turn when the government decided to revoke Rumeysa’s visa based on investigations by the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. They accused her of supporting Hamas, a designated foreign terrorist organization. This move by the government raised concerns among her friends and professors, who did not see her as an activist or a threat in any way. Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s remarks about her detention further fueled the confusion surrounding the case.

Rumeysa’s detention is part of a broader crackdown on international students following President Trump’s pledge to combat antisemitism on college campuses. The American Civil Liberties Union intervened in her case, arguing that her detention violated her First Amendment rights. A federal judge ruled that she could not be deported until further court proceedings take place.

Friends and professors of Rumeysa vouched for her character, emphasizing her non-violent nature and dedication to her studies. Her Turkish professors recalled her academic achievements and passion for topics such as children’s rights and literature. The allegations linking her to Hamas were deemed baseless and absurd by those who knew her well.

The controversy surrounding Rumeysa’s case has sparked outrage on social media, with many expressing support for her and questioning the government’s actions. The Canary Mission, the group that targeted her, claims to expose individuals promoting hatred of the USA, Israel, and Jews on college campuses. However, critics argue that the group’s tactics have led to online harassment of pro-Palestinian students.

Despite the challenges she faces, Rumeysa’s friends and supporters remain hopeful for a positive outcome in her case. The impact of her detention has reverberated both in the United States and Turkey, prompting concerns about the safety and security of international students. As the legal battle continues, many are closely following Rumeysa’s story and advocating for justice on her behalf.
