Federal immigration agents detained Rumeysa Ozturk, a graduate student from Turkey, on the street near her home in Massachusetts.

Rumeysa Ozturk, an international student from Turkey, was detained in Massachusetts in March and later taken to Louisiana. The ruling said she must be transferred within a week.

A district court judge in Vermont had earlier ordered that the 30-year-old doctoral student be brought to the state for hearings to determine whether she was illegally detained. Ozturk’s lawyers say her detention violates her constitutional rights, including free speech and due process.
