ORDER FOR SERVICE. Upon review, it is ORDERED that the Clerk of Court shall send copies of the Petition (Dkt. No. 1) and this Order by certified mail return receipt requested to the Office of the United States Attorney. It is further ORDERED that the Clerk of Court shall serve Respondent Warden, South Texas ICE Processing Center, with copies of the Petition (Dkt. No. 1) and this Order by certified mail return receipt requested. It is further ORDERED that Respondents must file a response to the Petition (Dkt. No. 1) within 5 days afterservice. See 28 U.S.C. § 2243. Because this proceeding appears to turn entirely on whether Petitioner is a detainee subject to § 1225(b) or § 1226(a), in preparing their response, Respondents must consider the attached orders and identify any material differences that exist between the facts in this case and those presented in those cases. If Petitioner elects to file a reply, he may do so no later than 7 days after the Respondents response is filed.. Signed by Judge Orlando L. Garcia. (rqr) (Entered: 01/12/2026)
