Court orders Tufts University student be quickly moved to ICE custody in Vermont

Fox News reports that U.S. court of appeals judges yesterday ruled a Tufts University student currently being held by immigration authorities in Louisiana should be quickly transferred to Vermont, to address what her attorney’s claim is unlawful detention for co-authoring a pro-Hamas op-ed in her student newspaper.

In March, Rumeysa Öztürk was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) near her apartment building in Somerville, Massachusetts, after her visa was revoked.

Her attorney claims that Öztürk is being unlawfully detained for expressing her views in accordance with the First Amendment right to free speech
