Habeas cases are meant to be resolved quickly because a person’s liberty is at stake. But in parts of Mississippi and Louisiana, judges have typically taken 3 months or more to resolve them. Meanwhile, in Minnesota, the median time to close a case has been 11 days.
A map showing how long habeas cases take to close, by district. Gray dots throughout represent immigration detention facilities. Regions are shaded lighter purple if they have fewer habeas cases and darker purple if they have more cases. Several pieces of text accompany arrows pointing to locations on the map. They read: 1) In Minnesota, where more than 1,500 habeas petitions have been filed since January 2025, cases have closed in a median of just 12 days. 2) In Oklahoma's Western District, habeas cases take a median of 63 days. 3) Over 2,600 petitions have been filed in Louisiana, which has many ICE detention centers. Cases have taken a median of 89 days to close. 4) Cases have taken a median of 92 days to close in Mississippi's Southern District, where the Adams County Correctional Center is located. Source: ProPublica analysis of court records, as of Aug. 25, and Deportation Data Project. Districts with fewer than 10 cases closed not shown.
