The bills, proposed during President Donald Trump’s attacks on immigrants nationwide, would force public institutions to track the immigration status of people using their services.

The world's largest immigration detention system is on the cusp of explosive growth as President Donald Trump pursues his signature campaign promise of mass deportations.

Emails shared with The Associated Press say federal immigration authorities denied Mahmoud Khalil’s request for a temporary release from detention to attend the birth of his first child.

Madison Sheahan’s Wildlife and Fisheries officers sent unhoused people to a New Orleans warehouse. What does that mean for the future?

Mahmoud Khalil’s detention in Louisiana, along with that of several other campus activists who have been shipped to detention centers in the state from far away, has put a spotlight on Louisiana’s role as a major hub for immigration detention.

Mahmud Khalil, a former Columbia University graduate student and a permanent legal resident of the United States is currently being held in a Louisiana ICE detention center.

A federal judge has rejected a Trump administration bid to move Mahmoud Khalil’s legal case to Louisiana.

Amid calls from President Donald Trump for a nationwide immigration crackdown and an end to so-called “sanctuary” policies, at least two Louisiana law enforcement agencies have recently joined forces with federal immigration authorities, enlisting local officers to identify and detain undocumented immigrants in their custody.

Since last week, Khalil — a Syrian-born Palestinian and permanent U.S. resident— has been locked up in the Central Louisiana ICE Processing Center, a privately-run immigration lockup with an average daily detainee population of nearly 1,200.

Khalil is being held at an ICE facility in Jena, Louisiana, according to the agency’s detainee tracker.
