Washington D.C., March 29: U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed the revocation of Turkish student Rumeysa Ozturk’s visa, stating that she violated its purpose by engaging in activism instead of focusing on her studies. Ozturk, a doctoral student at Tufts University, was detained in Somerville, Massachusetts, on March 25, sparking controversy over the decision.
Her detention has led to legal battles, with a federal judge ruling that she cannot be deported without a court order. Civil rights organizations argue that her constitutional rights have been infringed, raising concerns about the balance between immigration enforcement and free speech protections for international students in the U.S.
