Judge Allison D. Burroughs: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered. Before the Court is Petitioner Pedro Antonio Cabrera Reyes’ Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus. [ECF No. 1 ]. A declaration by Acting Assistant Field Office Director Brian E. Sullivan, [ECF No. 9-1 (“Sullivan Decl.”)], establishes the following. Petitioner is a Guatemalan citizen who was previously removed from the United States in June 2012. [Id. ¶¶ 6, 11]. In April 2019, Petitioner was again encountered in the United States. [Id. ¶ 12]. Petitioner’s removal order was reinstated, and he was released on an order of supervision. [Id. ¶ 13]. On February 5, 2026, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) encountered Petitioner near Warwick, Rhode Island, took him into custody, and served him with a Notice of Revocation of Release indicating that he was being re-detained to effectuate the reinstated removal order. [Id. ¶ 14]. ICE conducted an informal interview to allow Petitioner to respond to the revocation of release, and Petitioner did not provide a statement or documents at that time, but he did express a fear of returning to Guatemala. [Id.]. On March 5, 2026, a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”) asylum officer conducted a reasonable fear interview with Petitioner and, on March 11, 2026, USCIS determined that Petitioner had not established a reasonable fear. [Id. ¶¶ 15–16]. Petitioner did not appeal this decision. [Id.]. Because Guatemala participates in the Electronic Nationality Verification (“ENV”) program, a travel document is not necessary for ICE to remove Petitioner to Guatemala, [id. ¶ 17], and Respondents are “prepared to expeditiously effectuate Petitioner’s removal to Guatemala” within one to two weeks after the Court’s current stay is lifted, [id. ¶ 19]. Petitioner alleges that he was redetained without proper revocation of his order of supervision, [ECF No. 1 at 13–15], and that his detention is unconstitutional because ICE cannot promptly effectuate his removal, [id. at 11–13]. The Sullivan Declaration, however, states that ICE conducted an interview to allow Petitioner to respond to the revocation of his release and that USCIS subsequently conducted a credible fear interview. [Sullivan Decl. ¶¶ 14–16]. Further, Respondents have indicated that they are able to promptly effectuate Petitioner’s removal through the ENV program after the Court’s current stay is lifted. [Id. ¶ 19]. Accordingly, Petitioner’s petition, [ECF No. 1 ], is DENIED. The Court’s order, [ECF No. 3 ], prohibiting Petitioner from being “deported, removed, or otherwise transferred outside the United States,” is hereby dissolved.(CAM) (Entered: 03/23/2026)
