A federal appeals court has halted a lower courtâs order requiring the return of Rumeysa Ozturk, a Turkish Tufts University student, from a Louisiana immigration detention center. The U.S. 2nd Circuit Court is set to review the case after objections from the government assert that an immigration court has jurisdiction. Ozturkâs lawyers argue her detention infringes on her constitutional rights. The situation stems from her involvement in campus activism related to the Palestinian cause, which triggered scrutiny from the Department of Homeland Security linking her to Hamas, although no evidence was provided.
