Order on Motion to Seal AND Order on Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus

Oct 01, 2025

TEXT ORDER: Before the Court is Petitioner's request for Writ of Habeas Corpus (ECF No. 1 ) ("Petition") which claims due process violations stemming from medical complaints and a September 24, 2025 interaction where Petitioner was detained by immigration officials after attending a routine ICE check-in. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2243, the Respondents were ordered to "show cause why the writ should not be granted," to which they filed an Opposition to Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus and Motion to Dismiss (ECF No. 7 ). The Court notes the Respondents have shown that "Petitioner is subject to a final order of removal, [and] he is ineligible for release pursuant to [8 U.S.C § 1231], which states in pertinent part, that 'when an alien is ordered removed, the Attorney General shall remove the alien from the United States within a period of 90 days (in this section referred to as the 'removal period')." ECF No. 7 at 7 (quoting 8 U.S.C. § 1231(a)(1)(A)). Further, Respondents highlight that "Petitioner failed to make any application in good faith for travel or departure from the United States, thus the removal period 'shall be extended beyond the period of 90 days." Id. (quoting 8 U.S.C § 1231(a)(1)(C)). The Petition failed to disclose pertinent information about the status of Petitioner's immigration status and proceedings, which the Court now understands includes adverse decisions from an immigration judge, the Board of Immigration Appeals, and the First Circuit Court of Appeals, and most significantly, a final order of removal. ECF No. 7, Exs. AC. Thus, as the Respondents assert, the "Petitioner has exhausted all administrative and federal remedies and is subject to final removal pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1231." ECF No. 7 at 2. Lastly, for the reasons explained in Respondents' Opposition, Petitioner's complaints about medical issues are not proper grounds on which this Court will grant the Petition. See id. at 78. Therefore, the Petition is DENIED and the case is DISMISSED. Respondents' Motion to Seal Exhibit D (ECF No. 6 ) is GRANTED. So Ordered by District Judge Melissa R. DuBose on 10/1/2025.
