A Tufts University international graduate student was taken into custody by federal authorities in Massachusetts Tuesday evening, according to the school and her attorney.

In an email to campus, Tufts University President Sunil Kumar said the student, identified by her lawyer as Turkish national Rumeysa Ozturk, was apprehended "outside an off-campus apartment building in Somerville."
Kumar said the university was told the student's visa status "has been terminated" and that they're looking for more information on what happened.

1. Thanks to XKCD for making this so clear.

I'm hoping history won't be kind to these perpetrators.

Actually, I hope that the real world will deal with them as we dealt with the Nazis after WW-II.
