ICE agents detained a Turkish visitor for deportation after she aligned herself with the Hamas jihadi group, according to a government report.
“Glorifying and supporting terrorists who kill Americans is grounds for visa issuance to be terminated,” said a statement from Tricia McLaughlin, the top spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security. Her tweet said:
Rumesya Ozturk is a Turkish national & Tufts University graduate student, granted the privilege to be in this country on a [F-1 student] visa.
DHS + ICE investigations found Ozturk engaged in activities in support of Hamas, a foreign terrorist organization that relishes the killing of Americans.
