Tufts Student Speaks After 6 Weeks in Immigration Detention

Rumeysa Ozturk, the Tufts University student who was arrested in March by federal agents wearing masks and plainclothes, returned to Massachusetts on Saturday after six weeks in federal custody. Her return came one day after a federal judge ordered that she be immediately released.

Ozturk, a Turkish citizen, was among more than a thousand international students whose visas were canceled by the U.S. government and who have faced deportation as the Trump administration escalated its attack on higher education, saying its goal was to root out antisemitism.

Ozturk had written an opinion piece in a student newspaper criticizing the university’s response to pro-Palestinian demands. Her supporters said that she was detained in retaliation for her speech in violation of the First Amendment.

My Unexpected Answer to Balancing Work and Kids | NYT Opinion

With Mother’s Day around the corner, this Opinion Video asks: Is it possible to be a great mom and have a great career? That question has plagued the filmmaker Shaina Feinberg.

Before Ms. Feinberg was born, her mother dreamed of a successful career as a performer — then gave up those dreams to raise her daughters. That loss still haunts her mother.

Now a mother herself, Ms. Feinberg is confronted with the same dilemma: Should she quit working as a filmmaker to be a full-time mom? Or keep doing a “depressingly bad job at both”?

The universe answers her in the unlikely form of Joan Darling, a 90-year-old director and actress. She’s the first woman to be nominated for an Emmy in directing. And unlike Ms. Feinberg’s mother, she never had children.

During the pandemic, a freelance job fortuitously connected Ms. Feinberg with Ms. Darling. That chance encounter spurred the pair to meet in person.

From there, Ms. Darling becomes Ms. Feinberg’s unexpected life coach on work and motherhood. They spend days filming — and playing — together, as Ms. Feinberg embarks on a journey to learn how to be a career woman and a mom at the same time.
