Mahmoud Khalil, a legal U.S. resident and recent Columbia University graduate student, has not been charged with any crime.
Now this Louisiana Judge, U.S. District Judge Michael Farbiarz, wrote in a 106-page decision that he wants him to present further legal arguments for why he should be released.

That sounds the other way around to me; charge him first and present legal arguments why he is jailed ánd why he's transported to another state.

@touaregtweet That is exactly backwards from our habeas corpus, yes. If the prosecuting authority can’t make a cogent argument for the need for detention then you’re supposed to be freed until such time as they can make that argument. And even many charged offenders are released pending trial.

@touaregtweet Sounds just a bit ST:TNG S3E14 dystopian.
