Federal Appeals Court Pauses Ruling on Detained Tufts Student Rumeysa Ozturk
A federal appeals court has paused a ruling that would return a detained Tufts University student to New England while reviewing an emergency motion from the government.
Overview
The U.S. 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals has halted a district court order demanding the transfer of Rumeysa Ozturk, a Turkish Tufts University student, from a Louisiana immigration detention center back to New England. Ozturk's legal team argues her detention infringes on her constitutional rights. The Justice Department contests the ruling, citing jurisdictional limits concerning immigration matters. Ozturk, detained for five weeks, was previously involved in controversial discussions on campus about Israel and Palestine, raising concerns over her immigration status.
