U.S. Immigration Ruling Sparks Free Speech Debate
Ozturk's pro-Palestinian opinion piece in a Tufts newspaper led to her detention and 45-day hold in Louisiana.
Federal judge in Vermont ordered her release after detention, while the Department of Justice's Board of Immigration Appeals has not ruled.
Civil liberties groups called the policy unlawful, citing free speech concerns for noncitizen academics.
Trump administration argued Ozturk's activities supported Hamas and posed foreign policy risks.
