ORDER. Martinez Rodriguez cannot use the APA or the writ of mandamus to force an immigration judge to consider his pending, but un-grantable, DACA application. Neither is Martinez Rodriguez entitled to a bond hearing. As an applicant for admission, he is properly detained without bond under Section 1225(b)(2)(A). Nothing about the INA, the Due Process Clause, or the APA requires a contrary conclusion. This expedited petition, in effect, asks the Court to micromanage the presiding IJ and to compel the IJ to hurry up and wait for the Texas litigation to conclude. The Court declines to aid Martinez Rodriguez in his collateral attack on the immigration process. Thus, the petition for a writ of habeas corpus (Dkt. No. 1 ) is denied. Accordingly, his habeas claim for relief against transfer during the pendency of proceedings (Dkt. No. 1 at 14-15) and his pending TRO motion (Dkt. No. 3 ) are denied as moot. The Clerk of Court is directed to serve this Order electronically on the United States Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Texas pursuant to the current Service of Process Agreement for federal habeas petitions under 28 U.S.C. § 2241. Attorney Ann Cruce-Haag-DOJ and Brian Walters Stoltz-DOJ for Pamela J. Bondi, Dallas Field Office Director, ICE ERO, Joseph B Edlow, Kristi Noem,and Warden, Bluebonnet Detention Center added.
