Democracy Now!Judge Denies Release to Tufts University Student Rumeysa OzturkA federal judge in Vermont has denied a request for ICE to release Tufts University student Rumeysa Ozturk on bail while her case is resolved in court. This came after a judge ruled her case could be moved from Boston to the state of Vermont. Ozturk remains jailed at a privately run ICE detention center in Louisiana after being taken by masked, plainclothes federal immigration agents from the streets of Somerville, Massachusetts, in late March.
This comes as Trump’s State Department has revoked the visas of nearly 300 international students nationwide. The students, including at the University of California, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Harvard and other schools, now face deportation.
