Bail hearing to be held today for Tufts student detained by ICE
CBSN
Washington — A federal judge is holding a bail hearing Friday for Rumeysa Ozturk, a Tufts doctoral candidate who was detained by immigration authorities after the Trump administration revoked her student visa.
Ozturk is currently detained at an immigration facility in Basile, Louisiana, where she was transferred after she was taken into custody in Massachusetts in March. The bail hearing in her challenge to her confinement comes after a federal appeals court ruled Wednesday that the Trump administration had until May 14 to comply with a district court's order to transfer Ozturk to immigration custody in Vermont.
Ozturk will appear remotely from Louisiana, according to her legal team.
