Typically pro-Palestinian student activists in the US go to lengths to not support Hamas and generally have multiple statements to that end.
To date, to the best of my searching, the DHS claims have not been backed up.
In a statement to the Guardian, a DHS spokesperson said on Wednesday that Ozturk was “granted the privilege to be in this country on a visa” and, without supplying any proof, accused her of supporting Hamas, the Islamist group that controls Gaza and led the attack on southern Israel on 7 October 2023, prompting a massive military response from Israel.

- defrost 2y agoI say what I mean and prefer that others not strawman my comments. "Typically" does not mean "always". That's an understandable mistake on your part if english is your second or third language.

The entire reason for adopting a system with no procedural safeguards is so that claims don't have to be backed up by anything, just as in the case of the completely bogus invocation of the Alien Enemies Act (the pro-Palestine campus activist deportations use a different pretext for denying any process, but the net effect is the same.)
