TEXT ORDER -The Court has reviewed the Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 filed by Petitioner, Carlos Patricio Quintuna Parra, who is presently detained at the Delaney Hall Detention Facility in New Jersey. (ECF No. 1.) Petitioner alleges that his continued detention is unlawful and effected without due process of law because Respondents have erroneously concluded that he is "seeking admission" to the United States and therefore subject to mandatory detention under 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b), denying him the opportunity to seek release on bond under 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a). (See id.) Accordingly, it is ORDERED that Respondents shall SHOW CAUSE, no later than Tuesday, March 10, 2026, why the Petition for habeas corpus relief should not be granted. Petitioner may file a reply brief in support of the Petition within three (3) business days after the filing of Respondents' answer. Petitioner shall serve a copy of this Order and the habeas petition upon Respondents within two (2) business days of the entry of this Order, and promptly file proof of service on the docket. Petitioner shall not be removed from New Jersey during the pendency of these proceedings. Signed by. So Ordered by Judge Karen M. Williams on March 4, 2026. (Williams, Karen) (Entered: 03/04/2026)
