"State of play: But another way immigration cases can wind up in federal courts is if detainees file a habeas corpus petition to challenge the legality of their detention, as Khalil did.

These cases typically wind up in district court, and in Louisiana the majority of ICE detention centers are within the jurisdiction of the western district.
