Lawyers for a detained Tufts student from Turkey argued that her case should be handled by the federal court in Massachusetts, while U.S. government attorneys said it should be dismissed and go before an immigration judge. Rumeysa Ozturk, 30, was taken into custody on March 25 and has been moved to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center in Louisiana. Ozturk's lawyers filed a petition in the Boston court, stating that it was the appropriate venue since she was in a vehicle within the control of Massachusetts-based ICE officials at the time. The case is currently under advisement.
