From a Turkish student rumeysa ozturk Tufts universityDe being detained in Louisiana Immigration Facility, should be taken back to New England by 1 May, which was ordered by a federal judge on Friday to assess the validity of his custody after the co-writer of an opinion in the student newspaper.
In Burlington, Vermont, US District Judge William Sessions set a bail hearing for May 9 and a qualification hearing for 22 May. While the Ojaturk’s legal team demanded immediate release or transferred Vermont, the Justice Department said that the court belonged to a Louisiana immigration court.
The judge said in his judgment that the proceedings are physically present with the Ojturk, accepting the severity of his captive claims and will be committed to a rapid review process.
The case came to light after masked by masked immigration officers on March 25, walking in the Boston suburb. He was later taken through New Hampshire and Vermont before being blown in Basil, Louisiana. On Wednesday, an immigration judge refused bonds, citing concerns about the risk of danger and flight.
The position of the Ojturk reflects a broad pattern that includes university-conferred individuals, whose US visas were canceled or refused to enter after allegations of Palestinian support or protest partnership. A similar case includes Mahmud Khalil, a student of Columbia University, whom the officials want to exist on the basis of national security concerns.
Initially, the legal representatives of the Ojturk, filed in Massachusetts, disrupted uncertainty about their location and communication restrictions. Ojturk reported several unsuccessful efforts to contact the legal lawyer.
The controversy “The Tufts Daily” stems from a piece of one opinion with three other students, who criticize the demands of student activists about Palestinian issues and investments related to Israeli.

A department of the Homeland Security Representative claimed last month that the investigation revealed the participation of Ojturk’s nominated terrorist organization Hamas, although no supporting evidence was provided.
