A Tufts University doctoral student from Turkey detained by immigration officials said she was talking to her mother on her phone at the time shortly after she left her Massachusetts home when she was surrounded by several men, and “I screamed.”
Rumeysa Ozturk, 30, who has since been moved to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center in Basile, Louisiana, provided an updated account of what happened to her as she walked along a street on March 25, in a document filed by her lawyers in federal court Thursday.
