Ozturk was one of four students who wrote an op-ed in the campus newspaper, The Tufts Daily, last year criticizing the university’s response to student activists demanding that Tufts “acknowledge the Palestinian genocide,” disclose its investments and divest from companies with ties to Israel.

An appeals court in New York put a Tufts student’s transfer from a Louisiana detention center to Vermont on hold Monday. William Sessions, a U.S. district judge in Vermont, ordered last week that the Trump administration transfer Rumeysa Ozturk by May 1.

A federal appeals court filed an emergency motion on Monday, pausing the transfer of detained Tufts University student Rumyesa Ozturk from Louisiana to Vermont until a review by a judicial panel in May. Ozturk was supposed to be returned no later than May 1 for a detention hearing.
