BOSTON (AP) — A federal judge on Friday moved the case of a detained Tufts University doctoral student to Vermont, where the Turkish national was briefly held before being moved to an immigration detention facility in Louisiana.

Rümeysa Öztürk, the Turkish student detained by immigration officers in Boston last month, was moved across multiple state lines as part of a “highly unusual” and “secretive” attempt to keep her from accessing her attorney or being near her home,

The federal case against the Turkish Tufts graduate student arrested last month by ICE agents while walking down the sidewalk has been transferred to Vermont from Massachusetts.
