A federal judge in Boston overseeing the immigration case of Rümeysa Öztürk will hear from lawyers seeking to keep her in the US and from federal prosecutors working to deport the Tufts student to her native Turkey.

A federal judge has moved a case involving at Tufts University doctoral student being held at an immigration facility in Louisiana to Vermont

A federal judge in Boston on Friday transferred the case of detained Tufts University doctoral student Rümeysa Öztürk to Vermont.

Some activists have sought to turn Rümeysa Öztürk’s case into a rallying cry against Israel, turning off some Jews.

The school's declaration in federal court on behalf of Rümeysa Öztürk is some of the strongest pushback by a university against the Trump administration's arrests of foreign students.

ICE was driving Öztürk through Vermont at 10:01 p.m. on March 25 when attorney Mahsa Khanbabai filed an initial complaint in the U.S. District of Massachusetts seeking her client’s release. Khanbabai and Öztürk’s family were unaware of her location at the time.

The president of Tuft’s University filed a court declaration defending Rümeysa Öztürk, a Ph.D. student from Turkey who is being detained in Louisiana.

The Justice Department argued a federal judge in Boston lacks jurisdiction to decide the legality of Tufts PhD student Rümeysa Öztürk's ICE detention.

ICE claims to follow Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, which would require Öztürk to have the same access to medical care as everyone else. Denying Öztürk her medication could potentially impede her disability civil rights (failures to provide ICE detainees access to care have been the subject of complaints under Section 504 in the past).
