• Rumeysa Ozturk arrested by masked ICE agents — Rumeysa Ozturk, a 30-year-old Turkish student at Tufts University who co-wrote an op-ed criticizing the school's response to the pro-Palestinian movement, was arrested by plainclothes masked immigration officers in Somerville, Massachusetts, as she was on her way to break her Ramadan fast. She was taken to several detention centers before being flown to a Louisiana ICE facility, despite a court order that said she wasn't supposed to be taken out of the state without notice.
• ICE detains Tufts student on visa revocation; alleged retaliation for pro-Palestinian speech — Rümeysa Öztürk was arrested by ICE on Tuesday in a Boston suburb while heading to an Iftar dinner during Ramadan. DHS revoked her visa, claiming she engaged in activities supporting Hamas but providing no evidence. Her attorneys allege the detention is retaliation for an opinion piece she co-authored advocating Palestinian rights. ICE transferred her to Louisiana without notifying her counsel or the court, violating a prior judicial order. She suffered an asthma attack during transport and was unreachable for nearly a full day.
• ICE detains Tufts doctoral student Rumeysa Ozturk and transfers to Louisiana detention center — Rumeysa Ozturk, a Turkish doctoral student and Fulbright scholar at Tufts University, was detained by ICE agents in plainclothes near her apartment and transferred to an ICE detention center in Louisiana. The Department of Homeland Security accused her of supporting Hamas but provided no evidence. Her detention appeared linked to her co-authorship of a March 2024 opinion piece in the Tufts student newspaper supporting Palestinian rights. A federal judge had ordered DHS to provide advance notice before transferring her out of state; ICE records suggest this order was violated.

• Trump administration increases ICE detention quotas and budget — Within days of Trump's second inauguration on 20 January 2025, the administration ordered ICE to detain more people, establishing new quotas that increased daily arrests from a few hundred to 1,200–1,500. ICE's annual budget has grown from $6 billion a decade ago to $85 billion, making it the highest-funded law enforcement agency in the US. New ICE recruits receive signing-on bonuses of up to $50,000. The administration also expanded Project Homecoming, a self-deportation scheme offering $2,600 exit bonuses (increased from $1,000 in May 2025), funded by repurposing $250 million previously allocated to refugee aid.
• ICE detainee death toll reaches 16 since Trump's January return to office — Since Donald Trump returned to the White House in January 2025, at least 16 people have died in US Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody, including Ismael Ayala-Uribe, a 39-year-old Mexican national and former DACA recipient, who died at an ICE facility in Adelanto, California on September 21. ICE was holding 59,762 detainees as of September 25, exceeding the previous record of 60,000 set in August. Data shows a death rate of approximately 1.88 per month under Trump compared to 0.54 per month during the Biden administration.

• DoJ orders prosecution of officials resisting immigration crackdown — The U.S. Department of Justice, under the Trump administration, has issued a directive to federal prosecutors to target state and local officials who resist the administration's mass deportation campaign.

This directive is part of a broader immigration crackdown, including executive orders to mobilize federal agencies for enforcement and challenge local laws blocking Trump's immigration agenda.
