In the case of non-citizens being held outside of any US jurisdiction, what court has standing to rule? Where would I file a case if I had one?

This reminds me a bit of the Roman concept of the pomerium. Anything outside of the arbitrary line deciding what was Rome and what wasn't, was "anything goes."

Nobody. But US military facilities are considered US soil and thus US jurisdiction.

In the SCOTUS rulings on Guantanamo, SCOTUS went further and stated that they would have ruled the same way if it had been a CIA facility instead of a military facility, so long as Cuba had granted the CIA permission to exclusively use the land for its own purposes.
