As we’ve reported, a judge in the US has rejected the Trump administration’s efforts to deport Tufts University doctoral student Rumeysa Ozturk, who was arrested last year as part of a crackdown on pro-Palestinian campus activists. A spokesperson for the US Department of Homeland Security, which oversees US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, has criticised the decision, arguing that it reflects “judicial activism”. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem “has made it clear that anyone who thinks they can come to America and hide behind the First Amendment to advocate for anti-American and anti-Semitic violence and terrorism – think again”, the spokesperson said.
