An internal U.S. State Department memo written days before plainclothes Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents abducted Tufts University student Rumeysa Ozturk last month found that the Trump administration did not produce any evidence demonstrating that the doctoral student took part in antisemitic activity or showed support for a terrorist group.

That finding, revealed in Sunday reporting by The Washington Post, undercuts Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s repeated insistence that Ozturk and other students who have had their visas revoked by the Trump administration have engaged in “impermissible actions taken to support designated foreign terrorist organizations like Hamas, Hezbollah, or the Houthis.”

    I would normally use the original source if I can and catch it, but it was WaPO. I prefer a summary to them.
