The President of Tufts University filed a declaration in support of Rümeysa Öztürk, a student at the institution who is being detained by ICE. She was accused of supporting Hamas.

Tufts University petitioned a federal judge to release student Rümeysa Öztürk, some of the strongest pushback by a school against the Trump administration's arrests of foreign students in recent weeks.

Ahead of a Boston court hearing scheduled Thursday regarding federal immigration agents' detainment of a Tufts University student, the school called for her release.
