Judge rejects Trump request to stall Tufts student transfer to another court
Judge William K. Sessions III denied on Thursday the government’s request to pause the transfer of Tufts student Rümeysa Öztürk from a detention facility in Louisiana to another in Vermont.
The government had asked the judge to pause the move while it appeals the decision in the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals.
But the judge rejected their request, saying her transfer to Vermont "will have no impact on the government’s separate removal proceedings against her in immigration court."
"Ms. Öztürk is in detention in Louisiana, where she reports that she is enduring overcrowding, unsanitary conditions, a worsening medical condition, insufficient medical care, and difficulties practicing her religion," he added.
