A federal judge in Massachusetts decided on Friday that a Turkish medical graduate student from Tufts University, who was detained earlier this week, cannot be deported unless there is a court order allowing it.

Rumeysa Ozturk, 30, an international student, was taken into custody by federal authorities near an off-campus apartment in Somerville, as confirmed by the university’s President, Sunil Kumar.

U.S. District Court Judge Denise Casper has given the government until Tuesday to answer a revised complaint submitted by Ozturk’s lawyers, according to The Associated Press.

“To allow the Court’s resolution of its jurisdiction to decide the petition, Ozturk shall not be removed from the United States until further order of this court,” the judge wrote.

A Department of Homeland Security spokesperson told Fox News on Wednesday that Tufts University student Rumeysa Ozturk was “granted the privilege to be in this country on a visa” and that “DHS and ICE investigations found Ozturk engaged in activities in support of Hamas, a foreign terrorist organization that relishes the killing of Americans.”  (AP)

Minneapolis City Council member Robin Wonsley, in a statement on Friday, said she was “disturbed” about the detainment, and indicated there would be a rally Monday against what she called “Trump’s attacks.”

“This frightening reality underscores the need for the City of Minneapolis, University of Minnesota, and all local governments to clearly and unambiguously condemn the Trump administration’s cruel and racist attacks, and invest resources into protecting vulnerable residents,” Wonsley wrote.

Wonsley added she asked Minneapolis Police Department leadership to “establish clear disciplinary criteria for any officer who violates the City’s separation ordinance and uses their position to enforce immigration laws.”

The mayors of Minneapolis and St. Paul Melvin Carter recently reiterated their sanctuary city stance not to aid ICE with any removals. 

The University of Minnesota and ICE St. Paul did not immediately respond to inquiries from Fox News.
