Side note: Judge Denise Casper is the first Black woman to serve on a Massachusetts federal court! www.longroadtojustice.org/topics/leade...

Bottom line: This is good news for ƖztĆ¼rk. Her attorneys wanted Judge Casper to keep the case in Massachusetts, but their fallback position was for her to transfer the case to Vermont. Either one avoids the notoriously conservative Fifth Circuit, which Louisiana (the govt's choice) is part of.

"Ironically, the government (at least in its papers) faulted Ozturk for failing to file the Petition in the district of her confinement and failing to name her immediate custodian, despite the fact that Ozturk was not permitted to communicate her whereabouts."

"The irregularity of the arrest, detention and processing here is coupled with the failure to disclose Ozturkā€™s whereabouts even after the government was aware that she had counsel and the Petition was filed in this Court."

NEW: Mass. federal judge Denise Casper transfers RĆ¼meysa ƖztĆ¼rk's deportation case to VERMONT. She denies the govt's request to transfer to Louisiana, following the model set by NY federal judge Jesse Furman when he transferred Mahmoud Khalil's case to NJ.

Keep 'em comingā€©"A federal judge [appointed by Obama] Friday ordered the Federal Emergency Management Agency (#FEMA) to disburse millions of dollars of grants to Democratic-led states, finding the administrationā€™s withholding of the funds breached his previous ruling."
