SOMERVILLE, Mass. — Attorneys for a Tufts University graduate student who was detained by ICE earlier this year are heading back to court on Thursday to ask a judge to restore her student visa while her case moves forward.
Rumeysa Ozturk’s visa was terminated by the Trump administration following her arrest by ICE agents in March, effectively blocking her from working or continuing her studies at Tufts.
