BromwichFeb. 10, 2026An immigration judge has found there were no grounds to deport a Turkish graduate student whose arrest by masked agents last year was an early salvo in the Trump Administration\u2019s crackdown on migrants.The decision by the judge, Roopal Patel, came last month and was disclosed in federal court by lawyers for the student, Rumeysa Ozturk, this week. It effectively means that the government has no legal justification to deport Ms. Ozturk, a graduate student at Tufts University.Judge Patel, who as an immigration judge is a Justice Department employee, blocked any further proceedings against Ms. Ozturk, but the government can appeal the decision to the Board of Immigration Appeals.A State Department official said in an email in response to the decision that the Trump administration would abide by all laws, regulations and court orders.Ms. Ozturk said in a statement that she had breathed a sigh of relief at the decision, knowing that her case \u201cmay give hope to those who have also been wronged by the U.S. government.\u201d Mahsa Khanbabai, a lawyer for Ms. Ozturk, said that the decision was a \u201cpowerful affirmation of fairness and the rule of law.\u201d\u201cWe hope this decision serves as a reminder that immigration enforcement must always be guided by justice,\u201d she said in an email, adding, \u201cIf the Sec. of State can on a whim decide to revoke a person\u2019s visa what does that say about impartiality, the rule of law, and transparency?\u201dStarting in March of last year, the Trump administration made a number of high-profile arrests of international students who had been involved in the pro-Palestinian movement. Almost all of those students were freed \u2014 after weeks and sometimes months \u2014 by federal district judges who questioned the legality of their detentions.In September, a judge ruled that the government had unlawfully targeted the students over their speech. But his rulings have carried no penalties for the administration, which has long since moved on to a different phase of the immigration crackdown, evidenced in its large-scale operation in Minnesota and a new State Department policy blocking immigrants from 75 different countries.Ms. Ozturk was arrested in Somerville, Mass., in March 2025, and footage of the terrified student being whisked into a car by masked government agents led to an outcry from critics of the Trump administration. She was held in detention in Louisiana for 45 days until a federal judge in Vermont, where she had been driven before she was moved to Louisiana, released her on bail.After her release, the government continued its fight to deport her, as it has with many other international students who were detained, then freed.Documents from a different legal case in Massachusetts revealed that the sole reason the government sought to deport Ms. Ozturk was that she had co-written an editorial in the Tufts student newspaper calling on the school\u2019s leadership to consider pro-Palestinian student resolutions related to Israel.Shortly after Ms. Ozturk\u2019s arrest, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that her F-1 student visa had been revoked, saying that she had participated in a pro-Palestinian movement that upended American university campuses.\u201cWhy would any country in the world allow people to come and disrupt?\u201d he said, adding that it was a privilege to study in the United States \u2014 not a right.Judge Roopal found, though, that Mr. Rubio\u2019s revocation of Ms. Ozturk\u2019s visa did not require her removal from the country, because Ms. Ozturk\u2019s legal status in the United States is not predicated on the visa. The mere revocation of a visa does not automatically justify a person\u2019s deportation, the judge found.Ms. Ozturk and other similarly situated students, including Mahmoud Khalil and Mohsen Mahdawi, who attended Columbia University, won their freedom last year. But all three are involved in federal appeals court cases that evolved from their initial attempts to win release, and could fundamentally reshape immigration law in favor of the Trump administration.Last month, a New Jersey federal appeals court considering Mr. Khalil\u2019s case found that federal district judges are not the proper authorities to weigh the constitutionality of immigration detention. Mr. Khalil\u2019s lawyers are appealing that ruling, but if it stands, it would likely make it more difficult for immigration lawyers to free their clients from detention.Ms. Ozturk is fighting a similar case in a New York appeals court, which is where her lawyers disclosed Judge Patel\u2019s ruling this week. They argued the ruling underscored the dangers of the government\u2019s interpretation of a key immigration law, the Immigration and Nationality Act, given how little justification Judge Roopal had found for the deportation proceedings against Ms. Ozturk.\u201cUnder the government\u2019s view, it could punitively detain any noncitizen in retaliation for her speech for many months, so long as it simultaneously institutes removal proceedings \u2014 no matter how unmeritorious \u2014 all without any federal court review of the lawfulness of detention at any time,\u201d they wrote.Jonah E. Bromwich covers criminal justice in the New York region for The Times. He is focused on political influence and its effect on the rule of law in the area's federal and state courts.Read 188 commentsShare full articleRelated ContentAdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENT",
