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 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.

"Efforts to target me because of my op-ed in the Tufts Daily calling for the equal dignity and humanity of all people will not deter me from my commitment to advocate for the rights of youth and children.

University officials called for the Turkish doctoral student's “release without delay,” according to court documents filed Wednesday.

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.

Ahead of a Boston court hearing scheduled Thursday regarding federal immigration agents' detainment of a Tufts University student, the school called for her release.

Rümeysa Öztürk, a Turkish PhD student at Tufts University, was arrested by plainclothes federal agents on a Somerville sidewalk last week.

ICE claims to follow Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, which would require Öztürk to have the same access to medical care as everyone else. Denying Öztürk her medication could potentially impede her disability civil rights (failures to provide ICE detainees access to care have been the subject of complaints under Section 504 in the past).
