- A federal judge in Boston ordered federal immigration authorities to transfer Tufts international student Rumeysa Ozturk's lawsuit over her detainment to Vermont.
Catch up quick: Ozturk, who was arrested in broad daylight by ICE agents in Somerville, had her student visa revoked after a pro-Israeli group, Canary Mission, doxxed her over a pro-Palestinian op-ed in Tufts' student newspaper'
- One of the most shocking elements of Ozturk's detainment — and a legal wrinkle — is that her whereabouts were unknown for close to a day as ICE agents shuttled her from Massachusetts to Vermont to Louisiana, where she currently sits in a detention center.
- Ozturk's attorneys accused the Trump administration of "forum shopping," keeping her whereabouts unknown until they could get her to a jurisdiction believed to be more likely to side with government attorneys.
Driving the news: Judge Denise Casper ruled that Ozturk's habeas corpus petition should be heard by the District of Vermont's federal court, not the District of Western Louisiana as Trump administration lawyers requested.
