Judge Richard G. Stearns: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered re 7 Response to Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus.In 1998, an Immigration Judge ordered petitioner Kchang Pen, who had recently been convicted by a jury of larceny and sentenced to two and a half years in prison, removed to Cambodia. The order became final on January 16, 2001. In May of 2001, the former Immigration Naturalization Service released Pen on an Order of Supervised Release. Pen remained on supervised release for the next fifteen years, until February 2, 2026, when ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations officers detained him and revoked his Order of Supervised Release. Limited in its jurisdiction, the court asks the petitioner to show cause no later than February 20, 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. (RGS, law3) (Entered: 02/10/2026)
