TEXT ORDER: The Court has reviewed the Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 filed by Petitioner, Domingo Flores Campos, who is presently detained at the Delaney Hall Detention Facility in Newark, New Jersey. (ECF No. 1.) Petitioner alleges that his continued detention is unlawful and effected without due process of law because although he is a member of the Maldonado v. Bautista class, 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.) Petitioner further moves for temporary restraining and injunctive relief, asserting that immediate judicial intervention is warranted in light of the alleged absence of lawful statutory authority for his continued detention. (ECF No. 2.) Having reviewed the submissions and the circumstances presented, the Court finds that temporary relief is warranted to preserve the status quo while Respondents respond to the Petition. Accordingly, Petitioner's request for a Temporary Restraining Order is GRANTED to the extent that Respondents shall not remove or transfer Petitioner outside the District of New Jersey during the pendency of these proceedings. It is therefore ORDERED that Respondents shall SHOW CAUSE, no later than March 26, 2026, why the Petition for habeas corpus relief should not be granted. Petitioner may file a reply brief within three (3) business days after the filing of Respondents' response. So Ordered by Judge Jamel K. Semper on 3/19/2026. (sms) (Entered: 03/19/2026)
