A doctoral student who was targeted for deportation under President Donald Trump has chosen to return to her native Turkiye, citing the “state-imposed violence and hostility” she faced in the United States.

Rumeysa Ozturk made the announcement through the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) on Friday, after a nearly yearlong legal battle with the Trump administration.

“The time stolen from me by the U.S. government belongs not just to me, but to the children and youth I have dedicated my life to advocating for,” said Ozturk, who received her PhD in child study and human development in February.
