The school's declaration in federal court on behalf of Rümeysa Öztürk is some of the strongest pushback by a university against the Trump administration's arrests of foreign students.

A federal judge ordered that the case of Rümeysa Öztürk, a graduate student at Tufts University, be moved to Vermont, where she was in ICE custody before being moved to Louisiana.
