Rumeysa Ozturk's lawyer believes she is being targeted over a school paper editorial she co-authored

snips from the article:

U.S. Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin [...] did not specify what specific activities were engaged in by Ozturk, a Fulbright Scholar and student in Tufts' doctoral program for Child Study and Human Development. Ozturk had been in the country on an F-1 visa to study.

[...]

Ozturk co-authored an opinion piece a year ago in the school's student paper, the Tufts Daily, that criticized the school's response to calls by students to divest from companies with ties to Israel and to "acknowledge the Palestinian genocide."

"Based on patterns we are seeing across the country, her exercising her free speech rights appears to have played a role in her detention," said Mahsa Khanbabai, Ozturk's lawyer. Khanbabai called the claims against Ozturk "baseless" and said people should be "horrified at the way DHS spirited away Rumeysa in broad daylight."
