U.S. immigration court dropped the deportation case against Rumeysa Ozturk.
Ozturk, a Turkish PhD student, was arrested by plainclothes agents in March 2025 near Tufts University, drawing national attention.
The government alleged she supported Hamas, but her lawyers say she was targeted for a pro-Palestinian opinion article.
She was never charged with a crime, remains in the U.S., and courts have largely sided with similar students.
