Tufts University doctoral student Rümeysa Öztürk was released from a Louisiana detention center Friday, six weeks after masked federal agents took her into custody amid the Trump administration’s effort to deport noncitizens who have protested against the war in Gaza.

A district court judge ordered the Tufts Ph.D. student to be released on bail after more than six weeks in detention for merely writing an op-ed in her student newspaper.

"There has been no evidence that has been introduced by the government other than [an] op-ed," a federal judge said on Friday. "I mean, that literally is the case."
