Judge in Boston to hold hearing on detained Tufts Ph.D. student, as DOJ says case should be heard in Louisiana
CBSN
A federal judge in Boston is holding a hearing Thursday regarding a Tufts University Ph.D. student taken into custody in Massachusetts and moved by Immigration and Customs Enforcement authorities to Louisiana last week.
The government claimed in a filing Tuesday that Rumeysa Ozturk, a Turkish doctoral student and Fulbright Scholar, had already been removed from Massachusetts before U.S. District Judge Denise Casper issued an order for her to stay in the state and that Casper no longer has jurisdiction to hear the case.
Attorneys for Ozturk had filed a habeas petition to block her removal from Massachusetts, as well as from the U.S., and a federal judge granted the petition. But the Justice Department's filing Tuesday said she had already been transferred to an ICE detention center in Basile, Louisiana.
