cnn.com - Rumeysa ozturk detained what we knowThe state department revoked her visa on March 21 but she was not notified until she received a notice to appear from ICE after her arrest on March 25, the petition says. So she didn't know her visa had been revoked, denying her the opportunity to take any action, including leaving the country voluntarily to avoid arrest and detention. She never had the chance to comply with the visa revocation.
Judge Denise Casper wrote in the order that Ozturk “shall not be removed from the United States until further order from this court.” Casper’s order directs immigration authorities to stop deportation proceedings against Ozturk until she can determine whether the Boston court has jurisdiction to decide if Ozturk was lawfully detained. So the courts are taking action. We will have to see if the Trump administration actually follows a judge's order.
