BOSTON (AP) — Lawyers for a Tufts University doctoral student from Turkey who was seized by immigration officials off a street near Boston argued in federal court Thursday that she should be returned to Massachusetts, while the U.S. government insisted it did nothing wrong in moving her to a detention center in Louisiana.

Rümeysa Öztürk, a Turkish PhD student at Tufts University, was arrested by plainclothes federal agents on a Somerville sidewalk last week. The post Tufts student detained by ICE releases statement while lawyers argue jurisdiction appeared first on Boston.

After being picked up in Massachusetts, Rumeysa Ozturk was moved to a detention center in Louisiana, where the government wants to argue its case to deport her.
