NOW, SIX WEEKS SINCE ROMAISA OZTURK WAS TAKEN BY ICE AGENTS FROM A SOMERVILLE STREET, SHE REMAINS AT A DETENTION CENTER IN LOUISIANA. A FEDERAL JUDGE IN VERMONT OVERSEEING HER CASE ORDERED SHE BE MOVED THERE. BUT NOW THE GOVERNMENT IS APPEALING THAT TRANSFER AND MADE ITS CASE TO AN APPEALS COURT. THIS MORNING, THE VERMONT COURT NEVER HAD HABEAS AUTHORITY, AND HENCE A TRANSFER TO IT WAS INAPPROPRIATE. THE GOVERNMENT ARGUES HER CASE SHOULD BE HEARD IN LOUISIANA THROUGH THE IMMIGRATION COURT SYSTEM, BUT HER ATTORNEYS CLAIM HER RIGHTS ARE BEING VIOLATED. EVEN ONE DAY OF DETENTION FOR WRITING AN OP ED IS JUST TOO LONG AND VIOLATES THE CONSTITUTION. THE SAME JUDGE ALSO HEARD ARGUMENTS THIS MORNING ABOUT COLUMBIA바카라 게임 웹사이트S STUDENT ACTIVIST MOHSEN MAHDAWI, PRESSING THE SAME GOVERNMENT ATTORNEY ON THE CASE, WHETHER BOTH STUDENTS ARE TARGETED FOR THEIR SPEECH COULD CONTEST THAT. THE SPEECH IN BOTH CASES WAS PROTECTED SPEECH. YOUR HONOR, WE HAVEN바카라 게임 웹사이트T WE HAVE NOT TAKEN A POSITION ON THAT. HELP MY THINKING ALONG. TAKE A POSITION, YOUR HONOR. I DON바카라 게임 웹사이트T HAVE AUTHORITY TO TAKE A POSITION ON THAT RIGHT NOW. NOW, THE COURT OF APPEALS DID NOT MAKE ANY RULING TODAY. THERE IS SOME URGENCY. OZTURK IS SCHEDULED FOR A BAIL HEARING IN FEDERAL COURT IN VERMONT ON FRIDAY, AND HER ATTORNEYS IN COURT TODAY SAID THAT SHE HERSELF IS EXPECTED TO BE THERE
