Europe EditionAppeals court orders detained Tufts student Rümeysa Öztürk returned to Vermont
- On May 6, a three-judge panel from the federal appellate court based in New York reviewed motions related to the cases of Rumeysa Ozturk, a student at Tufts University, and Mohsen Mahdawi, a student at Columbia University.
- The Justice Department appealed Vermont judges' orders to return Ozturk from detention and to release Mahdawi, citing federal immigration court jurisdiction limits and seeking to consolidate their cases.
- Ozturk, 30, has been detained for six weeks after being taken from a Boston suburb and flown to Louisiana amid DHS claims of Hamas support without presented evidence, while Mahdawi, 34, was released after Vermont detention related to protests against Israel's Gaza war.
- U.S. District Judge Geoffrey Crawford acknowledged that Mahdawi has presented a significant argument suggesting his arrest was intended to suppress his speech, while Ozturk’s attorneys contend that her detention infringes on her constitutional rights to free expression and due process concerning an op-ed addressing Tufts University's handling of Palestinian activism.
- The appeals court paused Ozturk's return to Vermont pending review, indicating ongoing legal debate over jurisdiction and constitutional rights, and Mahdawi’s release permits him to attend graduation and pursue further study.
