A federal judge on Friday denied a Trump administration request to dismiss or move a case involving a Tufts University doctoral student from Turkey who has been detained by immigration authorities, instead moving the proceedings to Vermont.
Judge Denise Casper denied the government’s request to dismiss the case against Rumeysa Öztürk or move it to the Western District of Louisiana.
„Although the Petition raises serious issues as to the conduct of her arrest and detention as alleged in each of these Counts, before reaching the merits of the Petition, the Court must first address the parties’ dispute about its jurisdiction“, Casper’s order states.
