Washington – The Trump government has instructed a Federal Court of Appeal on Wednesday to fulfill an order from the Lower Court, in which the Ph.D. Student Rumeysa Ozturk From a detention center in Louisiana to Vermont.

The three-judge committee of the US Court of Appeal for the 2nd circuit rejected an offer for emergency rescues that the Trump administration in Ozturks requested to contest its detention. The decision came after the 2nd circuit circuit Arguments belongs Tuesday at the request of the Ministry of Justice to pause the order of a district court in which Ozturk was required Transferred to immigration and customs authorities custody in Vermont.

Ozturk is currently arrested in an immigration system in Basille, Louisiana. A deposit negotiation in its challenge to its restriction is to take place on Friday at the Federal District Court in Vermont. The judges of the 2nd circle said that the Trump government had a week -until May 14th -in order to comply with the transmission order of the district court.

“The transfer of Ozturk will provide your access to legal and medical services, compensate for concerns about the conditions of your restriction and accelerate the decision of this matter – all of them are necessary, as the court mentioned below,” said the judge Barrington Parker, Susan Carney and Alison Nathan in their inconsistent opinion. “Oztur's ability to participate in your Habeas procedure is also at stake.”

In response to the decision, Esha Bhandari, a lawyer of the American Civil Liberties Union, said, who argued on behalf of Ozturk during the procedure on Tuesday that she and her client are grateful for the decision of the court.

“Nobody should be arrested and locked up for their political views,” she said in an explanation. “Every day when Rumeysa Ozturk stays in custody, one day is too long.”

Ozturk, a 30-year-old doctor at Tufts, was taken into custody on March 25th by ice ski brackets near her house in Somerville, Massachusetts after the Trump government revoked her student visa. According to court documents, it was not communicated in the previous revocation.

As a justification for its arrest and detention, the Department of Homeland Security and ICE announced that Ozturk was involved in connections that could undermine the US foreign policy by creating an enemy environment for Jewish students and providing support for a named terrorist organization “, as judicial acts show.

In 2024, Ozturk had also made a guiding article in the Tufts student newspaper, in which the school was criticized because of its dismissal of several resolutions that the student's senate as “sincere efforts to blame Israel to be responsible for clear violations of international law”. The editorial did not mention Hamas.

Ozturk is one of Hundreds of students Study at American universities where their visas were lifted after being accused of participating support for Palestinians or Campus protests.

After she had been arrested, Ozturk was born to Methuen, Massachusetts, then Lebanon, New Hampshire, followed by St. Albans, where she was held overnight. On the morning of March 26th in Burlington, Vermont, Ozturk was placed on a plane and flown to Louisiana, where she is currently in custody in a immigration facility in Basile.

Ozturk's lawyers filed a petition in which she questioned her arrest and detention as a violation of the first and fifth change before the Federal District Court in Massachusetts. However, the case was transferred to the US district court in Vermont after it was found that Ozturk was arrested in this state at the time of the petition.

The Ministry of Justice tried to reject Ozturk's petition and claimed that the district court in Vermont had no responsibility because Ozturk is locked up in Louisiana. But Ozturk's lawyers asked the US district judge William Sessions to command them, released them or transferred them to Vermont while their claims are decided. The meetings last month decided that Ozturk had to be transferred to ice custody in Vermont by May 1st. He also set a deposit for May 9th.

The 2nd circuit then temporarily stopped the arrangement of the sessions, while he had considered the emergency room of the Trump government.

The judges said that Oztur's constitutional contestation could progress their detention, even if there is a potential challenge to deport the United States, which was confirmed and confirmed by an immigration judge after the removal was ordered and confirmed by the board of the immigration authority.

“She claims that the government has arrested and arrested her to prevent a speech that does not agree with. An act of such an action would be a violation of the constitution – quite separate from the distance procedures that followed the immigration courts,” they wrote.

The committee found that Ozturk did not try to disturb the distance method and said that she could take part in hearings in front of an immigration judge from Vermont.

The judges also emphasized the timeline of the government's actions, which Ozturk from Massachusetts, where it was arrested, moved to Louisiana. A federal district judge in Massachusetts had prevented the government from moving Ozturk outside the state without first giving notice, and published this guideline without an hour of the petition in which its detention was questioned.

“Although the government did not comply with technically, the Ozturk government led Vermont to Louisiana the next morning,” said the 2nd circuit.

The Court of Appeal looked at Oztur's case alongside that of another international student. Mohsen MahdawiA Palestinian student at Columbia University. Mahdawi, a owner of Green Card born in West Bank, was arrested in an interview with citizenship by immigration agents in Vermont last month.

But the US district judge Geoffrey Crawford Order MahdawiThe release from immigration custody, while a challenge for his liability is made. The Trump administration appealed against this decision and asked the 2nd circuit to pause the decision, which would enable the immigration authorities to refer it again.

The committee has not yet decided on the application of the Ministry of Justice after emergency aid in Mahdawi's case.
