Gumar said in a statement on Wednesday, ‘The university did not know this event in advance and the federal authorities before the event did not share any information and this is not connected to the University of Tufts.’

DHS said in a statement: ‘Rumesya Ozturk is a Turkish National and University of TUFTS University graduate student, gave the privilege of being a visa in this country.
DHS and ICE investigations found Ozturk engaged in activities to support Hamas, a foreign terrorist organization that loves the killing of Americans.
Visa is a privilege, not rights. The glorification and support of the terrorists who killed the Americans are the reasons for the termination of visa issuance. This is common sense security. ‘
Ozturk was one of the four students who wrote an OP-ED piece together in TUFTS last March.
The piece criticized the reaction of the university to the decisions of the TUFTS to accept the Palestinian Genocide, ‘the response to the transition decisions of the Community Union,’ and disposed of companies with direct or indirect ties with Israel.
He said: ‘These decisions were the product of meaningful discussions by the Senate and represented a sincere effort to keep Israel responsible for the explicit violations of international law.’
The university’s response to the decisions ‘student body, the collective voice of the Senate is completely inadequate and despised’ he added.
Before joining TUFTS, Ozturk graduated from the Development Psychology program at the Teachers College at Columbia University in New York, according to a graduate spotlight article in 2021.
The focus was the media of children. He was also a Fulbright scholar in Columbia.
Ozturk’s detention comes after President Trump signed an order that declared pressure on anti-Semitism, which includes university campuses.

Emir said that the administration would use the US policy for ‘lifting’ aliens that have been harassed and violence against illegal anti -Jewish harassment and violence.
Ozturk is the last student taken by the ice agents after the detention of Mahmud Khalil, a student of Columbia University.
30 -year -old Khalil was arrested on March 8 as a part of the Trump edition and served as a spokesman and negotiator for those who opposed Israel’s campaign in Gaza.
The government is trying to deport Halil to the deportation of a rare regulation that allows the abolition of the non -donsidenens that put forward potentially serious negative foreign policy consequences for the United States’ United States.
The Ministry of Homeland Security, ‘Hamas aligned activities for aligned’ and the action was coordinated with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ claimed.
He accused President Khalil of being a ‘pro -Hamas’, and Foreign Minister Marco Rubio announced that he would cancel the US ‘HAMAS supporters’ visas and green cards.
He says that the arrest of Khalil’s supporters is a free speech attack and organized protests in the city and throughout the country.
He was not accused of a crime. He is also married to an eight -month pregnant US citizen.
His arrest fired a violent debate as to whether the Trump administration detained him and tried to deport him.
For Khalil, a lawyer called allegations ‘clearly weak’ and said the government should prove that any negligence is deliberate and financially important.
