ORDER: ORDERED that counsel should confer and submit a joint letter, no later than tomorrow, March 27, 2026, at noon indicating (1) whether petitioner was located in the Southern District of New York at the time that the Petition was filed; and (2) whether, if respondents assert that petitioner is detained pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2)(A), there is any basis to distinguish this case from Huang v. Almodovar, No. 26cv551 (DLC), 2026 WL 205656 (S.D.N.Y. Jan. 27, 2026), and, if not, whether respondents consent to issuance of the writ -- subject to preservation of respondents' arguments for appeal. If counsel believe that briefing is appropriate, counsel should propose a briefing schedule (expedited or otherwise) in the joint letter.
