移民法官驳回特朗普政府驱逐亲巴勒斯坦塔夫茨大学学生的请求

波士顿,2月9日(路透社) – 塔夫茨大学博士生鲁梅萨·奥兹图尔克的律师周一表示,一名移民法官已驳回特朗普政府驱逐她的企图。奥兹图尔克去年因被指控参与亲巴勒斯坦校园活动而被捕,此次是针对亲巴勒斯坦校园活动人士的行动之一。

该土耳其学生的律师在向总部位于纽约的美国第二巡回上诉法院提交的文件中详细说明了移民法官的裁决。此前,该法院一直在审查一项导致她在5月获释的裁决。

美国公民自由联盟的律师表示,1月29日,一名移民法官裁定美国国土安全部未能证明她属于可驱逐人员,因此终止了对她的诉讼程序。

她的移民律师玛莎·汗巴巴伊表示,该裁决由波士顿移民法官鲁帕尔·帕特尔作出。

这暂时结束了奥兹图尔克的诉讼程序。此前,美国国务院撤销了她的学生签证后,移民当局于3月在马萨诸塞州的一条街道上将其逮捕。

当局撤销她签证的唯一理由是她一年前与他人合写的一篇社论,该社论批评了学校对以色列在加沙战争的反应。

奥兹图尔克在一份声明中说:“今天我松了一口气,尽管司法系统存在缺陷,但我的案件可能会给那些同样被美国政府冤枉的人带来希望。”

移民法官的裁决本身并未公开,政府可能会向美国司法部下属的移民上诉委员会提出上诉。

国土安全部(DHS)(负责监督美国移民和海关执法局)发言人在一份声明中表示,该裁决反映了“司法激进主义”。

国土安全部部长克里斯蒂·诺姆“已经明确表示,任何认为可以来到美国并利用《第一修正案》为反美和反犹暴力及恐怖主义辩护的人——还是再想想吧。”发言人补充道。

这位儿童发展研究员在波士顿郊区萨默维尔被捕的过程被录制成病毒式传播的视频,这使她的案件成为唐纳德·特朗普总统政府试图驱逐持亲巴勒斯坦或反以色列观点的非公民学生的最受关注的案例之一。

这位前富布赖特学者在路易斯安那州的拘留中心被关押了45天,直到佛蒙特州一名联邦法官在短暂拘留后下令立即释放她,理由是她提出了重大申诉,即拘留构成了违反其言论自由权的非法报复。

波士顿一名联邦法官上月裁定,政府实施了一项非法政策,拘留并驱逐奥兹图尔克等学者,这抑制了大学中非公民学者的言论自由。司法部周一表示,将对这一裁决提出上诉。

Immigration judge rejects Trump effort to deport pro-Palestinian Tufts student

February 9, 2026 11:55 PM UTC / Reuters / By Nate Raymond

BOSTON, Feb 9 (Reuters) – An immigration judge has rejected the Trump administration’s efforts to deport Tufts University PhD student Rumeysa Ozturk, who was arrested last year as part of its targeting of pro-Palestinian campus activists, her lawyers said on Monday.

Lawyers for the Turkish student detailed the immigration judge’s decision in a filing with the New York-based 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which had been reviewing a ruling that led to her release from immigration custody in May.

An immigration judge on January 29 concluded the U.S. Department of Homeland Security had not met its burden of proving she was removable and terminated the proceedings against her, her lawyers at the American Civil Liberties Union wrote.

Her immigration lawyer, Mahsa Khanbabai, said the decision was issued by Immigration Judge Roopal Patel in Boston.

That ended, for now, proceedings that began with Ozturk’s arrest by immigration authorities in March on a street in Massachusetts after the U.S. Department of State revoked her student visa.

The sole basis authorities provided for revoking her visa was an editorial she co-authored in Tufts’ student newspaper a year earlier criticizing her school’s response to Israel’s war in Gaza.

“Today, I breathe a sigh of relief knowing that despite the justice system’s flaws, my case may give hope to those who have also been wronged by the U.S. government,” Ozturk said in a statement.

The immigration judge’s decision is not itself public, and the administration could challenge it before the Board of Immigration Appeals, which is part of the U.S. Department of Justice.

A spokesperson for DHS, which oversees U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, in a statement said the decision reflected “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.

The arrest of Ozturk, a child development researcher, in the Boston suburb of Somerville, was captured in a viral video that turned her case into one of the highest-profile instances of the effort by President Donald Trump’s administration to deport non-citizen students with pro-Palestinian or anti-Israel views.

The former Fulbright scholar was held for 45 days in a detention facility in Louisiana until a federal judge in Vermont, where she had briefly been held, ordered her immediately released after finding she raised a substantial claim that her detention constituted unlawful retaliation in violation of her free speech rights.

A federal judge in Boston last month ruled that the administration had adopted an unlawful policy of detaining and deporting scholars like Ozturk that chilled the free speech of non-citizen academics at universities. The Justice Department on Monday moved to appeal that decision.
