A federal judge has ordered the abducted Tufts doctoral student Rümeysa Öztürk be transferred from a Louisiana immigration jail back to Vermont by May 1. Öztürk, who is originally from Turkey, was arrested near her home in Somerville, Massachusetts, on March 25 and was transferred to three different locations, including Vermont, before being sent to Louisiana. She was targeted for co-authoring an op-ed critical of Tufts’s response to pro-Palestinian campus protests.
