1:07Now PlayingImmigration agents snatched a Tufts Ph.D. student from Turkey off the street in Boston after the Trump administration “terminated” her student visa over her alleged “activities in support of Hamas,” the Department of Homeland Security said Wednesday. NY Post producer Brian Faas shares this story.
Rumeysa Ozturk, who is from Turkey and previously attended Columbia University, was “ambushed” by ICE agents while leaving her off-campus apartment for dinner with her friends, according to a statement her attorney Mahsa Khanbabai shared with the Boston Globe.
DHS Spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin said in an X post Wednesday that Ozturk’s visa “is a privilege not a right,” adding that “glorifying and supporting terrorists who kill Americans is grounds for visa issuance to be terminated.”
McLaughlin didn’t point to any specific evidence of Ozturk’s alleged terror support.
Ozturk previously wrote an op-ed that criticized Tufts’ response to the anti-Israel protests and called for the university to divest from the Jewish state — a common demand of the movement.
Dramatic video shows one plain-clothed federal agent approaching Ozturk on the street before several other feds swarm her, according to footage obtained by WCVB5.
