A federal judge in Vermont has decided not to wait for the transfer of a Turkish Tufts University student from a Louisiana immigration detention center to schedule a bail hearing, more than six weeks after she was arrested while walking along a street in a Boston suburb.

We respectfully request that the court move forward with the bail hearing as originally scheduled,” Monica H. Allard, an attorney for Tufts student Rümeysa Öztürk, said Thursday.

Rümeysa Öztürk, who was arrested by ICE for writing an op-ed, must be moved from the Louisiana detention center where she’s being held to Vermont, a federal appeals court ruled. The 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Öztürk must be detained in Vermont while a federal judge determines whether to release her from ICE custody.
