Tufts University is demanding the release of Rumeysa Ozturk, a Turkish student arrested by U.S. agents last week. President Trump is cracking down on pro-Palestinian protests at universities, and Ozturk—a PhD student—was detained in a raid caught on video.

Tufts says she is a good student with no reason to be arrested and wants her back in class. Many people online are angry, saying this hurts free speech.

Trump is punishing top schools where students protest Israel’s war in Gaza. He has cut funding and ordered the deportation of foreign protesters. Some say this is unfair, while others believe it stops chaos on campuses.

Ozturk wrote an article criticizing Tufts’ handling of Gaza protests and is now fighting her arrest in court.

Other schools, like Columbia and Harvard, are also under pressure. Columbia University changed some rules to avoid losing funding, but Harvard University may lose billions over claims of antisemitism.

The fight raises big questions about student rights and government control over universities.
