COURTHOUSE,
March 19 – 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)
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.
Inner City Press
live tweeted March 12 - the
Assistant US Attorney said
Khalil was moved to New Jersey
before the 4 am filing of the
habeas petition. Judge Furman
asked for briefing and ordered
privileged phone calls March
12 and 13, thread here
On March 13
respondent Joyce amended his
declaration, on Patreon here
On March 14
opposing return Joyce wrote in
that "Khalil could not be
housed at Elizabeth Detention
Facility long-term due to the
bedbug issue," filing on
Patreon here.
On March 19 Judge
Furman ruled that "the Court
agrees with the Government
that Khalil’s Petition cannot
be heard in this District and
agrees with Khalil that it
should be transferred to the
District of New Jersey, not
dismissed or transferred to
the Western District of
Louisiana."
The case is M.K.
