In a notable incident on Thursday, the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency detained Rumeysa Ozturk, a Turkish doctoral student at Tufts University and a US permanent resident. According to reports, her detention was linked to her expression of pro-Palestine views in a co-authored article. This recent event has added to concerns about the security of free speech, as the Trump administration has been increasingly vocal about taking action against college students engaged in campus activism critical of Israel’s actions in Gaza. The incident with Ozturk has sparked a wider conversation about the implications of political beliefs on personal freedoms.
