Rumeysa Ozturk, a Turkish doctoral student at Tufts University, was taken into custody by immigration officials on March 25.

The Trump administration on Friday lost a bid to throw out or move to Louisiana a Tufts University student's legal challenge to her immigration arrest, which sparked protests against the president's efforts to deport pro-Palestinian activists on American campuses.

The student, Rumeysa Ozturk, was detained by ICE agents in Massachusetts, driven to Vermont and flown to a detention center in Louisiana, where the government was trying to argue her court case.
