TEXT ORDER: The Emergency Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus before the Court asserts Petitioner is currently detained at the Plymouth County Correctional Facility in Massachusetts. ECF No. 1 ¶ 15. As such, the District of Rhode Island does not have jurisdiction to adjudicate this petition. See Rumsfeld v. Padilla, 542 U.S. 426, 443 (2004) ("The plain language of the habeas statute... confirms the general rule that for core habeas petitions challenging present physical confinement, jurisdiction lies in only one district: the district of confinement."); Thompson v. Barr, 959 F.3d 476, 491 (1st Cir. 2020) (transferring a petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 to the district where petitioner was confined). This case shall be transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts in Boston. So Ordered by District Judge Melissa R. DuBose on 1/20/2026. (Simoncelli, Michael)

Judge Richard G. Stearns: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered - re 17 Response, filed by Stefan Cassella, Todd Lyons, Michael Krol, Executive Office of Immigration Review, Kristi Noem, David Wesling, Pamela J. Bondi, Antone Moniz. Petitioner Souvanh Keosouvanh agrees that he is subject to a Final Removal Order after serving a 170-month federal prison sentence (released in June of 2023). However, he asks the court to reinstate his prior Order of Supervision while awaiting removal that ICE entered on July, 11, 2023, and then revoked on December 28, 2025. Limited in its jurisdiction, the court asks the petitioner to show cause no later than February 10, 2026, why, under Zadvydas v. Davis, 533 U.S. 678, 688 (2001), there is not a significant likelihood of his removal in the reasonably foreseeable future. (MZ) (Entered: 01/30/2026)
