Judge Richard G. Stearns: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered re 8 Supplements Response to Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus filed by Kristi L NOEM, Donald Trump, Patricia Hyde, Todd Lyons, Pamela Bondi, Michael Krol, Antone Moniz. Petitioner Joao Pereira de Faria Neto, a native and citizen of Brazil, filed this habeas petition on September 23, 2025. In his petition, Pereira de Faria Neto states that he was charged with two misdemeanor offenses (driving drunk and driving without a license) on September 6, 2025, and that United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) took him into custody a day later, causing him to miss his initial arraignment in Leominster District Court (scheduled for September 8, 2025). Pereira de Faria Neto also claims that he has a pending petition for asylum, however, he fails to supply the court with any details regarding the application (date, status, etc.). See Pet. (Dkt #1) at 7.The government initially responded to the petition on October 3, 2025. In that response, government indicated that Pereira de Faria Neto had (earlier that week) withdrawn his pending bond hearing request. See Dkt #6 at 3. The court requested further briefing from the government concerned that Pereira de Faria Neto was kept from defending himself in his criminal case (based on the missed arraignment allegation). In its Supplemental Response, the government states that Pereira de Faria Neto has access to the Leominster District Court and is in the process of procuring a state habeas to appear at an arraignment. The government represents that "if ICE receives the state habe in adequate time prior to the next criminal hearing, ICE anticipates no issue with facilitating a temporary transfer of custody Petitioner to Plymouth County to transport him to and from Leominster District Court." Gov't Suppl. Br. (Dkt #8) at 4. In light of Pereira de Faria Neto's withdrawal of his request for a bond hearing, his pending criminal charges, and his access to due process regarding those charges (a state habeas was issued to Plymouth County Correctional Facility on October 9, 2025, directing the Plymouth County Sheriff to arrange for Pereira de Faria Netos presence at an arraignment scheduled for October 21, 2025), see Dkt 8-1 at 2, the court directs Joao Pereira de Faria Neto to show cause, no later than October 30, 2025, the basis on which the district court should retain jurisdiction over what appears to be a moot matter.(MZ) (Entered: 10/16/2025)
