A federal appeals court has paused a judge’s order to bring a Turkish Tufts University student from a Louisiana immigration detention center back to New England so it can consider an emergency motion filed by the government.

An appeals court in New York put a Tufts student’s transfer from a Louisiana detention center to Vermont on hold Monday. William Sessions, a U.S. district judge in Vermont, ordered last week that the Trump administration transfer Rumeysa Ozturk by May 1.

A federal judge ruled Thursday that a detained Tufts student must be returned to Vermont, according to a court order.
