Federal authorities detained a Tufts University graduate student Tuesday while she was on her way to break her Ramadan fast with friends, her lawyer said, and the moment was caught on video.

Department of Homeland Security agents apprehended Rumeysa Ozturk, a Turkish national who was maintaining a valid F-1 student visa as a doctoral student, near her home, her attorney, Mahsa Khanbabai, said in a statement.

“It was only late Wednesday evening that I learned that she was sent to Louisiana, despite a federal court order that she not be removed from the state,” Khanbabai said in an email early Thursday.
