Tufts student Rümeysa Öztürk ordered freed from immigration detentiontoggle caption Michael Casey/APA federal judge in Vermont has ordered that Rümeysa Öztürk, a Tufts University doctoral student and Turkish national, be immediately released from federal custody. Sessions added: "The court finds that Ms. Öztürk has raised a substantial claim of a constitutional violation." He ordered her immediate release, rejecting, for now, the government's request that he place conditions on her freedom. The Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to her ordered release. But last week , Tricia McLaughlin, the department's Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs, said, "we will continue to fight for the arrest, detention and removal of aliens who have no right to be in this country."
