TEXT ORDER: Petitioner, a noncitizen subject to a final order of removal, has filed a Petition for Review ("PFR") of the agency's removal order with the Second Circuit and, more recently, this § 2241 petition seeking habeas relief. After directing a response and ordering briefing, the Court heard oral argument on the habeas petition on March 30, 2026. There, the parties represented to the Court that motions for a stay of removal and to expedite a decision are pending with a motions panel of the Second Circuit, and that a decision on one or both of those motions was reasonably likely in the near future. Additionally, counsel for respondents also acknowledged that if the Second Circuit were to grant petitioner's motion for a stay of removal, the basis for his ongoing detention would be governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1226's discretionary framework, which would entitle petitioner to an individualized bond hearing. Upon review of the briefing, and based on the parties' representations during the hearing, it is ORDERED that the parties shall file a joint status report on April 2, 2026. The 2 order temporarily enjoining respondents from moving petitioner outside this judicial district remains IN FULL FORCE and EFFECT at this time. SO ORDERED by U.S. District Judge Anthony J. Brindisi on March 31, 2026. (ztc, ) (Entered: 03/31/2026)
