A federal judge in Vermont has decided not to wait for the transfer of a Turkish Tufts University student from a Louisiana immigration detention center to schedule a bail hearing Friday, more than six weeks after she was arrested while walking along a street in a Boston suburb.

We respectfully request that the court move forward with the bail hearing as originally scheduled,” Monica H. Allard, an attorney for Tufts student Rümeysa Öztürk, said Thursday.

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.
