ORDER. The Court concludes that Fernandez-Hernandez fails to demonstrate that his continued detention is unlawful and, in turn, fails to demonstrate that he is entitled to any of the relief that he seeks in his petition. Accordingly, the Court denies Fernandez-Hernandez's petition. However, in the event the BIA affirms the March 27, 2026 removal order, rendering it administratively final for purposes of beginning the removal period under Section 1231(a)(1)(A), Fernandez-Hernandez is free to challenge any post-removal-order detention after the presumptively reasonable six-month period set forth in Zadvydas has expired, if he desires. (Ordered by Judge James Wesley Hendrix on 5/7/2026) (kmr) (Entered: 05/07/2026)
