US EditionDetained Tufts student seeking transfer says asthma attacks worsened in custody
- Rumeysa Ozturk, a 30-year-old doctoral student, was detained by immigration officials on March 25 in Somerville, a Boston suburb.
- Her detention followed allegations from the Department of Homeland Security that she supported Hamas, though no evidence was provided, and the Justice Department contests a Vermont judge's transfer order.
- Ozturk was transported to a detention center in Basile, Louisiana, where she faces crowded dorms, limited fresh air, and reported poor conditions worsening her asthma.
- Ozturk wrote in court documents that since her arrest, she suffered at least eight asthma attacks in five weeks, lasting up to 45 minutes with uncontrolled coughing and poor medical care.
- Her attorneys claim that her detention infringes on her fundamental rights such as freedom of expression and the right to fair legal procedures, with federal court hearings scheduled to discuss her possible transfer to Vermont for reviews concerning the lawfulness of her detention.
