MINUTE ORDER signed by District Judge Daniel J. Calabretta on 1/9/2026: Having reviewed the 1 Petition for Habeas Corpus filed in this case and in light of Petitioners request for release, the Court construes the petition as a Motion for Temporary Restraining Order. It also appears that Petitioner may be entitled to relief. Petitioner asserts that he has been subject to a final order of removal since 1995 but that he was released in 2006 under an order of supervision. (ECF No. 1 at 2.) Petitioner alleges that he was taken back into custody on June 9, 2025, and has remained in custody ever since. (Id. at 2 -3.) Revocation of release is permissible if, on account of changed circumstances, the Service determines that there is a significant likelihood that the alien may be removed in the reasonably foreseeable future. 8 C.F.R. § 241.13(i)(2). Moreover, the removal period during which detention is permitted is generally limited to 90 days. See 8 U.S.C. § 1231; see also Zadvydas v. Davis, 533 U.S. 678, 701 (2001). Petitioner asserts Respondents were previously unable to remove him to China and that he has been in custody for over 6 months during which the Respondents have been unable to remove him. Accordingly, on or before January 15, 2026, Respondents are ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE as to whether there is a significant likelihood that Petitioner may be removed in the reasonably foreseeable future and why the Court should not grant Petitioners Motion. The Clerk of the Court shall serve a copy of this order together with a copy of petitioners application for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (ECF No. 1 ) on the United States Attorney.
