Gov. Healey: A Federal Judge Has Ordered Rumeysa Ozturk Be Brought to Vermont by May 1 for a Hearing

‘It also sends a chill to students everywhere, including foreign students’
By Grabien Staff

EXCERPT:

HEALEY: “Well, this is a very troubling matter, because this woman is a Fulbright Scholar. She's getting her Ph.D. in child development. She has no criminal record or history. It appears she was one of many signers of an op-ed in a college newspaper. The courts are already involved here, but it's very concerning. It's very concerning because there appears to be a total ignoring of due process, which is so foundational to our democracy and our rule of law in this country. And it also sends such a chill to students everywhere, including foreign students. Massachusetts is a place where we benefit from foreign students coming from all over the world to do research, to study, and to start companies, in addition to winning Nobel Prizes. And this is really important, because when I -- when I talk about Donald Trump's failed America first agenda, Weijia, this is what I'm talking about.”
