Her visa was revoked by the Trump administration following a pro-Palestinian op-ed, triggering detention and deportation battles.
A settlement reinstated Öztürk’s SEVIS status and allowed her to leave the United States without further interference.
Öztürk’s arrest by Immigration and Customs Enforcement occurred in March 2025 during ongoing deportation proceedings.
The case drew attention to how international students faced immigration actions amid campus protests related to Gaza.
A judge terminated Öztürk’s deportation case earlier this year, and the government and her attorneys requested dismissal as part of the settlement.
The settlement resolved federal court issues and closed the legal fight over Öztürk’s status.
Rümeysa Öztürk had co-authored a Tufts Daily op-ed urging recognition of Palestinian rights, which sparked the visa dispute.
The case involved broader scrutiny of US immigration enforcement actions against students during political protests.
