ENDORSED ORDER granting 1 Emergency Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus. As the Government noted in its 4 Response, the Court's position on this issue is that a petitioner, not being held pursuant to criminal charges, but instead held pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1225 or an ICE detainer must be released. Because "Petitioner [is held] under 8 U.S.C. § 1225" and "[t]here are no criminal charges that...counsel is aware of" the Court ORDERS Petitioner's immediate release. The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to serve copies of this Order to the following: 1) Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Attn: Assistant Field Office Directors) via email at OPLAORLFEDLIT@ice.dhs.gov; 2) United States Attorney's Office via email at USAFLM.Orlando2241@usdoj.gov; 3) United States Marshal Service via email at usms-mfl-orl@usdoj.gov; 4) Via certified mail to the United States Attorney's Office at 400 W. Washington Street, Suite 3100, Orlando, FL 32801; 5) Via certified mail to the United States Attorney General at 950 Pennsylvania Ave., NW Washington, DC 20530. Signed by Judge Paul G. Byron on 3/30/2026. (GML) (Entered: 03/30/2026)
