Federal Court Orders Transfer of Detained Tufts Student Rümeysa Öztürk to Vermont
A federal appeals court has ruled that Rümeysa Öztürk, a Tufts University student detained by ICE, must be transferred to Vermont. This decision follows various legal challenges surrounding her detention and the conditions she has faced, including reports of worsening asthma attacks while in custody. The court has denied a government appeal aimed at preventing the transfer, emphasizing the need for her to be moved quickly to ICE custody in Vermont for further hearings. The case has sparked discussions about the treatment of international students and the implications for free speech rights.
