Rümeysa Öztürk, a student visa holder at Tufts University from Turkey, was ordered to be released on bail and freed from over six weeks of detention in a Louisiana immigration detention center after Secretary of State Marco Rubio stripped her of her visa and ordered her deported for co-authoring an op-ed in her student newspaper.

Judge William Sessions III in the U.S. District Court of Vermont ordered Öztürk released on bail Friday as she faced significant danger of health issues while in detention due to her asthma.

Öztürk, a fifth-year doctoral student, was taken off the street of Somerville, Massachusetts, by plainclothes immigration officers wearing masks on March 25, after co-authoring an opinion piece calling on the Tufts president to support a student vote to divest from Israeli companies amid Israel’s war in Gaza.

She will now be released back to Massachusetts to resume her studies at Tufts while still being subject to removal proceedings.
