In response to increasing immigration enforcement targeting international students, universities in the U.S. are divided in their reactions. Following the detention of Tufts University's Rumeysa Ozturk, who advocated for divestment from companies linked to Israel, Tufts declared support for her and challenged the legality of her detainment. In contrast, other institutions such as Johns Hopkins are providing minimal updates to policies. The Trump administration's explicit stance on revoking student visas based on political expressions has heightened fears among international students, provoking varied levels of institutional responses.
The University has no information to support the allegations that [Rumeysa Ozturk] was engaged in activities at Tufts that warrant her arrest and detention.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio clarified the Trump administration's 'right' to rescind student visas and deport international students who are critical of Israel's U.S.-backed takeover of Palestine.
