US EditionJudges appear skeptical about ICE arguments in case of detained student
- Rumeysa Ozturk, a 30-year-old doctoral student, was detained by immigration officials on March 25 in Somerville, a Boston suburb, and is now held in a Louisiana detention center.
- Her detention follows a Vermont federal judge's order to transfer her for hearings on whether her detention was illegal, which the Justice Department is appealing, citing Louisiana court jurisdiction.
- Ozturk reports worsening asthma attacks since detention in crowded, air-conditioned dorms with limited fresh air, and immigration officials transported her from New England to Louisiana after surrounding her on the street.
- Ozturk stated in court filings that she experienced at least eight severe asthma attacks over five weeks, leading to uncontrollable coughing, while her attorneys contend that her detention infringes upon her fundamental rights, such as freedom of expression and fair legal procedures.
- The Justice Department claims Ozturk engaged in activities supporting Hamas, a U.S.-designated terrorist group, though it has not provided evidence, and a federal panel will soon hear arguments on enforcing the transfer order.
