Most of Gelernt’s time was spent discussing whether habeas claims should have been filed in TX bc the 5 named plaintiffs are currently held there.
1. This is a class action suit. The 5 named plaintiffs stand in for numerous others. Gelernt said because the govt is refusing to share info, it’s impossible to know where any of them are so he would have to file in every state.
2. Habeas’ core relief is release. Release is not being sought in *this* case. Enjoining removal to a foreign country is.
