A federal judge in Massachusetts ruled on Friday that a Tufts University medical graduate student from Turkey who was detained this week cannot be deported without a court order.

International student Rumeysa Ozturk, 30, was detained by federal authorities near an off-campus apartment building in Somerville, university President Sunil Kumar confirmed.

U.S. District Court Judge Denise Casper on Friday ruled the government has until Tuesday to respond to an updated complaint filed by Ozturk’s lawyers, The Associated Press reported. 

“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.
