HAPPENING NOW: Second Circuit panel hears arguments on the govt's emergency request to stop Tufts PhD student transfer

Friedman on BlueskyThe Second Circuit motions panel will also consider whether to consolidate the cases of Rümeysa Öztürk and Columbia student Mohsen Mahdawi for the purposes of the govt's appeals. Both students' legal teams oppose this.
