Ozturk was suddenly arrested by plainclothes federal agents Tuesday in an incident captured by a surveillance camera.

Rumeysa Ozturk, who is from Turkey and in the United States on a student visa, was taken to a detention center in Louisiana.

Federal agents surrounded Rumeysa Ozturk in the street near her off-campus apartment, arrested her, and rushed her away to Louisiana.

The school's declaration in federal court on behalf of Rümeysa Öztürk is some of the strongest pushback by a university against the Trump administration's arrests of foreign students.

Rümeysa Öztürk, a doctoral student on a Fulbright scholarship, has had three asthma attacks while being held in a Louisiana detention center.

Lawyers for a Tufts University doctoral student Rumeysa Ozturk who was seized by immigration officials off a street near Boston argued in federal court Thursday that she should be returned

The university released few details, but the move comes amid the Trump administration's efforts to deport students involved in pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses.

The president of a Minnesota university that saw one of its students detained by federal immigration authorities last week says five other students have had their visas terminated.

These are troubling times, and this situation is unlike any we have navigated before,” the university president said in a statement.
