A federal appeals court orders ICE to transfer detained Tufts student to Vermont.
Rümeysa Öztürk, who was arrested by ICE for writing an op-ed, must be moved from the Louisiana detention center where she’s being held to Vermont, a federal appeals court ruled.
The 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Öztürk must be detained in Vermont while a federal judge determines whether to release her from ICE custody. ICE has been detaining students in remote facilities in Louisiana, where they’re far from their attorneys and face unfriendly courts.
The judges gave ICE one week to comply with the order.
