Federal Judge in denies release on bail of Rumeysa Ozturk, graduate student snatched by masked, plain clothes officers. She is presently held in an detention center in Louisiana. democracynow.org/2025/4/9/head

Democracy Now!Judge Denies Release to Tufts University Student Rumeysa OzturkA federal judge in Vermont has denied a request for ICE to release Tufts University student Rumeysa Ozturk on bail while her case is resolved in court. This came after a judge ruled her case could be moved from Boston to the state of Vermont. Ozturk remains jailed at a privately run ICE detention center in Louisiana after being taken by masked, plainclothes federal immigration agents from the streets of Somerville, Massachusetts, in late March. This comes as Trump’s State Department has revoked the visas of nearly 300 international students nationwide. The students, including at the University of California, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Harvard and other schools, now face deportation.

@maeve I feel as though this is being poorly reported. The judge hasn't denied release. Because Ozturk was moved so many times, it's unclear who has jurisdiction. Sessions is insisting that he can't rule on anything until jurisdiction is made clear.

Which is reasonable. What's NOT reasonable is that Ozturk was yanked at all, then shuffled to no less than four locations, all while ignoring a court order to keep her in place -- exactly the sort of thing to do if you want to muddy the waters and make it impossible for the wheels of justice to turn at all.

Sessions is playing by the old rule book, where law and order are supposed to mean something, conveniently sidestepping that the first court order was completely ignored. The new administration's cronies are free to break or make up laws as they go. Sessions is not.
