Federal Judge in #Vermont denies release on bail of Rumeysa Ozturk, #Tufts graduate student snatched by masked, plain clothes #immigration officers. She is presently held in an #ICE detention center in Louisiana. democracynow.org/2025/4/9/head

Democracy Now!Judge Denies Release to Tufts University Student Rumeysa OzturkA federal judge in Vermont has denied a request for ICE to release Tufts University student Rumeysa Ozturk on bail while her case is resolved in court. This came after a judge ruled her case could be moved from Boston to the state of Vermont. Ozturk remains jailed at a privately run ICE detention center in Louisiana after being taken by masked, plainclothes federal immigration agents from the streets of Somerville, Massachusetts, in late March. This comes as Trump’s State Department has revoked the visas of nearly 300 international students nationwide. The students, including at the University of California, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Harvard and other schools, now face deportation.

Universal Hub · Judge tells ICE it can't do whatever the hell it wants to deport somebody, but says Tufts graduate student will have to stay locked up as she appeals being grabbed off a Somerville streetA federal judge today castigated the "irregularity" of the way ICE agents grabbed a Tufts grad student in Somerville, then quickly moved her around Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont before shipping her to a for-profit gulag in Louisiana, but did not free her while she fights her impending deportation for expressing an opinion the current regime doesn't like.

'#RumeysaOzturk was detained by masked #ICE thugs on 25 March 2025'

"Tufts University has thrown its weight behind the legal case for Rumeysa Ozturk, demanding her immediate release so she can finish her studies, making Tufts the first university to have done so in the wake of students being detained and arrested... over pro-#Palestine activism."

🇺🇸 Meet the seven brilliant student-scholars disappeared off the streets of the US by the Trump Administration for criticizing Israel’s atrocities in Gaza. Four are being held in brutal for-profit ICE detention centers in Louisiana. None are charged with a crime.

A little gem of an opening salvo from the "Learning #StandardML", #Tufts U Comp 105 course handout:

————
For someone with a background in COMP 11 and COMP 15, the fastest and easiest way to learn Standard ML is to buy Ullman’s book and work through chapters 2, 3, 5, and 6. But many students choose not to buy Ullman—a move that saves money but costs time. You can recover some of the time by reading this guide; it enumerates the most important concepts, and it tells you where to find key information, not just in Ullman, but also in three other sources:

• Jeff Ullman’s "Elements of ML Programming" (ML’97 edition)
• Norman Ramsey’s "Programming Languages: Build, Prove, and Compare"
• Mads Tofte’s “Tips for Computer Scientists on Standard ML" (Revised)
• Bob Harper’s draft "Programming in Standard ML"

Know your sources! Mads Tofte and Bob Harper both worked with Robin Milner on the design of Standard ML, and they helped write the Definition of Standard ML. They know what they’re talking about, and they have good taste—though Tofte’s use of the ML modules is considered idiosyncratic. Norman Ramsey at least knows some functional programming. Jeff Ullman, by contrast, got his start in the theory of formal languages and parsing, then switched to databases. He may like ML, but he doesn’t understand it the way the others do.
————

I don't know any professors who teach at Tufts, but the word on the Web is that Ramsey is the author of this handout. Cheeky blighter!🤣
