Rumeysa Ozturk, who is from Turkey and previously attended Columbia University, was "ambushed" by ICE agents
Federal agents have detained Turkish national Rumeysa Ozturk. After graduating from Columbia, she led pro-Hamas, violent antisemitic, and anti-American events as a PhD student at Tufts.

Lol I love the absolutely delusional way these people talk. "OMG THIS INNOCENT STUDENT WAS KIDNAPPED BY THE TRUMP GESTAPO".
Bruh everyone knows what students are being deported. While blatantly illegal, nobody is going to cry about any of the "Osama did nothing wrong"s being shipped off

Another student has been disappeared! We'll, we know which agency has her, where she is, and what the plan for her is, but except for all of that she's been unpersoned! This is just like what that 1984 book did or something

Don't worry Republicans will get re-elected anyways, not because they're smart or anything, but the Dems will find something to fight about or splinter their party over. Come to think of it, maybe we Israelis should launch a campaign on the West Bank in 2028 to divide the Dems yet again

It's not illegal. Deportation is a civil issue and so isn't subject to judicial review, so a deportation by definition can't be illegal. If they want to fight their deportation then they should file a civil suit from wherever they are sent back to.

Lmao wtf? You're arguing that Trump can just deport anyone for any reason and say "feel free to sue me from wherever we send you if you disagree"? Wild.

Yes, in the same way that if the police arrest you wrongfully your only recourse is to later on sue the government. You can't just say no to the arrest, they'll apply whatever force is necessary.
The police are allowed to do that, you'll just get some money later if they do.
Jump in the discussion.

Sure, because obviously it would be excessively burdensome to the process of arresting someone if they could litigate it on the spot. There's judicial review, just not during the heat of the moment where it obviously wouldn't make sense. But on the other hand there's no reason why deporting someone as an end to end action needs to not have any sort of judicial checks, unless we're talking about border control where a decision is being made on the spot. It's a process argument - if Trump can just abduct an American citizen minding their own business at home and put them on the next plane to a Salvadorean prison without there being any sort of due process to contest the legality of this decision then that's obviously crazy.
[Edit] I guess per this thread, then yes the deportation of Americans is not that rare. Somewhat horrifying but I imagine there are still egregious process failures involved in these outcomes, like you are still not supposed to just pick someone up and then yeet them across a border without doing any sort of checks.

Maybe allowed is the wrong word, I more mean Trump is able to do it. Casting a wide net and then paying out damages later is something he could do, although probably not cost effective. Feels on brand for Trump though

This is the op-ed that got her jannied:
On March 4, the Tufts Community Union Senate passed 3 out of 4 resolutions demanding that the University acknowledge the Palestinian genocide, apologize for University President Sunil Kumar's statements, disclose its investments and divest from companies with direct or indirect ties to Israel. These resolutions were the product of meaningful debate by the Senate and represent a sincere effort to hold Israel accountable for clear violations of international law. Credible accusations against Israel include accounts of deliberate starvation and indiscriminate slaughter of Palestinian civilians and plausible genocide.
Unfortunately, the University's response to the Senate resolutions has been wholly inadequate and dismissive of the Senate, the collective voice of the student body. Graduate Students for Palestine joins Tufts Students for Justice in Palestine, the Tufts Faculty and Staff Coalition for Ceasefire and Fletcher Students for Palestine to reject the University's response. Although graduate students were not allowed by the University into the Senate meeting, which lasted for almost eight hours, our presence on campus and financial entanglement with the University via tuition payments and the graduate work that we do on grants and research makes us direct stakeholders in the University's stance.
While an argument may be made that the University should not take political stances and should focus on research and intellectual exchange, the automatic rejection, dismissive nature and condescending tone in the University's statement have caused us to question whether the University is indeed taking a stand against its own declared commitments to free speech, assembly and democratic expression. According to the Student Code of Conduct, "[a]ctive citizenship, including exercising free speech and engaging in protests, gatherings, and demonstrations, is a vital part of the Tufts community." In addition, the Dean of Students Office has written, "[w]hile at times the exchange of controversial ideas and opinions may cause discomfort or even distress, our mission as a university is to promote critical thinking, the rigorous examination and discussion of facts and theories, and diverse and sometimes contradictory ideas and opinions." Why then is the University discrediting and disregarding its students who practice the very ideals of critical thinking, intellectual exchange and civic engagement that Tufts claims to represent?
The role of the TCU Senate resolutions is abundantly clear. The Senate's resolutions serve as a "strong lobbying tool that expresses to the Tufts administration the wants and needs of the student body. They speak as a collective voice and are instrumental in enacting systemic changes." In this case, the "systemic changes" that the collective voice of the student body is calling for are for the University to end its complicity with Israel insofar as it is oppressing the Palestinian people and denying their right to self-determination — a right that is guaranteed by international law. These strong lobbying cowtools are all the more urgent now given the order by the International Court of Justice confirming that the Palestinian people of Gaza's rights under the Genocide Convention are under a "plausible" risk of being breached.
This collective student voice is not without precedent. Today, the University may remember with pride its decision in February 1989 to divest from South Africa under apartheid and end its complicity with the then-racist regime. However, we must remember that the University divested up to 11 years after some of its peers. For instance, the Michigan State University Board of Regents passed resolutions to end its complicity with Apartheid South Africa as early as 1978. Had Tufts heeded the call of the student movement in the late 1970s, the University could have been on the right side of history sooner.
We reject any attempt by the University or the Office of the President to summarily dismiss the role of the Senate and mischaracterize its resolution as divisive. The open and free debate demonstrated by the Senate process (exemplified by the length, open notice and substantive exchange in the proceedings and the non-passing of one of the proposed resolutions), together with the serious organizing efforts of students, warrant credible self-reflection by the Office of the President and the University. We, as graduate students, affirm the equal dignity and humanity of all people and reject the University's mischaracterization of the Senate's efforts.
The great author and civil rights champion James Baldwin once wrote: "The paradox of education is precisely this: that as one begins to become conscious one begins to examine the society in which [they are] being educated." As an educator, President Kumar should embrace efforts by students to evaluate "diverse and sometimes contradictory ideas and opinions." Furthermore, the president should trust in the Senate's rigorous and democratic process and the resolutions that it has achieved.
We urge President Kumar and the Tufts administration to meaningfully engage with and actualize the resolutions passed by the Senate.
This op-ed was written by Nick Ambeliotis (CEE, '25), Fatima Rahman (STEM Education, '27), Genesis Perez (English, '27) and Rumeysa Ozturk (CSHD, '25) and is endorsed by 32 other Tufts School of Engineering and Arts and Sciences Graduate Students.
