An immigration court terminated removal proceedings against Öztürk, saying the government hasn’t proven its case for deportation, her lawyers said.
A U.S. immigration court has terminated the Trump administration’s attempt to deport a Tufts University student and pro-Palestinian activist who has been critical of Israel, her lawyers said Monday.
The court terminated the government’s removal proceedings on Jan. 29, finding that the government has not met its burden in proving that Rümeysa Öztürk, a Ph.D. student from Turkey studying children’s relationship to social media, should be deported, the lawyers said.
The termination was noted Monday in a filing on behalf of Öztürk with the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York City, where she is challenging her arrest and detention.
Because they will absolutely follow a court order.

I was about to say, I’m surprised she hasn’t just been black bagged and deported anyway. That’s the normal goon squad MO right now, because the law works a lot slower than a plane. Once you’re in a foreign prison or whatever, you’re officially a problem for the State Department.
