Within an hour of sweeping Tufts University student Rümeysa Öztürk off a sidewalk near the Somerville campus last week, immigration agents were quickly on the move.

Rümeysa Öztürk, a Tufts University graduate student, was arrested in Massachusetts and sent to the South Louisiana ICE processing center in the swamplands of Evangeline parish in Basile. Sending detainees to the cluster of remote immigration detention centers known as “Detention Alley” in the south is a common practice.

After her arrest in Somerville, Rümeysa Öztürk was moved rapidly to New Hampshire, Vermont, and then flown to Louisiana. The post ICE says Mass. judge has no jurisdiction in case of detained Tufts student appeared first on Boston.
