Days after Ozturk’s arrest, Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed that the U.S. had revoked her student visa, linking her case to the administration’s ongoing crackdown on student activism and implying she is a protester.

Öztürk was detained at about 5:15 p.m. According to the timeline provided by the government, she left Somerville in ICE custody at 5:49pm, stopped in Methuen and departed at 6:36 p.m. for Lebanon, New Hampshire. Öztürk left Lebanon for the ICE field Office in St. Albans, Vermont, arriving at 10:28 p.m.
