Newly released court records reveal that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) directed a specialized crime unit to target and detain pro-Palestinian student activists, including graduate student Rumeysa Ozturk, despite the absence of criminal charges.
Ozturk, a Turkish student at Tufts University, was arrested in March outside her home by masked agents after co-writing a student newspaper op-ed criticizing the university's financial ties to Israel.
