BOSTON (WHDH) – The case involving a Tufts University student detained by ICE is slated to be heard in federal court in Boston Thursday.
Rumeysa Ozturk, 30, was arrested in Somerville last week and taken to a detention center in Louisiana. ICE said there was no space in any detention centers in New England.
Ozturk’s legal team will argue the case should remain in Massachusetts. She has a hearing in Louisiana on Monday.
A federal judge ruled she cannot be deported until the court hears the case.
