COURTHOUSE,
Nov 20 – As Mahmoud Khalil was
sent to the ICE detention
facility in Elizabeth, NJ -
and then it seems to Louisiana
- his lawyer filed a habeas
corpus petition in the U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York.
It was not viewable on PACER
but it was, at terminals in
the courthouse itself. On
Bluesky here,

(later, on X - but see below)
On March
10 it was assigned to Judge
Jesse M. Furman who ordered:
"a joint letter, no later than
March 11, 2025, at 5:00 p.m.,
indicating whether the
conference is necessary and
addressing how the Court
should handle the present
Petition."
The letter was
filed just before 7 pm, noting
the US Attorney's Office's
assertion is disputes on
jurisdiction and possibility
transferring the case, but
still asking for the
conference on March 12 on
these issues. Letter on X -
but now since November 17
Inner City Press is blocked
from its X account, with no
help from X Support.
On November 20,
Khalil represented by CCR
filed a FOIA lawsuit against
DOJ for records requested on
May 29. DOJ denied expedited
processing, then
administratively closed it as
"overly broad." No response to
appeal. Hence the suit, which
Inner City Press (which often
uses FOIA, with the Federal
Reserve, OCC and others) will
cover. The 25 page complaint
is on Patreon here
The FOIA suit is
Khalil, et al., v. US
Department of Justice, et al,
1:25-cv-9674 (Unassigned)
The initial
habeas case was M.K. v. Joyce,
et al., 1:25-cv-1935 (Furman)
