Judge Allison D. Burroughs: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered. Before the Court is Petitioner Alexis Mulrain’s petition for writ of habeas corpus, [ECF No. 1 ], to which the government has responded, [ECF No. 6 ]. The government has indicated that it intends to transfer Petitioner from Massachusetts to effectuate his removal. [ECF No. 6 at 1].A declaration by Acting Assistant Field Office Director Brian E. Sullivan, [ECF No. 6-1 (“Sullivan Decl.”)], establishes the following. Petitioner is a citizen of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (“SVG”) who entered the United States on an unknown date without inspection. [Id. ¶¶ 6–7]. On or about January 6, 2007, Petitioner was charged with drug possession and intent to distribute. [Id. ¶ 8]. On November 19, 2008, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (“ICE”) served Petitioner with a Notice to Appear charging him with removability, [id. ¶ 9], and took him into custody on January 9, 2009, [id. ¶ 10]. On July 8, 2009, Petitioner was ordered removed to SVG. [Id. ¶ 11]. On November 12, 2009, Petitioner was released from custody on an order of supervision. [Id. ¶ 12]. On February 3, 2012, Petitioner’s order of supervision was revoked, and he was redetained, [id. ¶ 13], but on February 12, 2010, he was released again on an order of supervision, [id. ¶ 14]. On January 28, 2026, ICE redetained Petitioner, issued him a Notice of Revocation of Release, and conducted an interview during which they afforded Petitioner the opportunity to respond to the reasons for the revocation. [Id. ¶ 15]. Respondents sent Petitioner’s travel document request to SVG on March 11, 2026. [Id. ¶ 16]. On April 10, 2026, SVG approved the request and requested Petitioner’s travel itinerary, which ICE provided the same day. [Id. ¶ 20]. According to Respondents, SVG issues travel documents after receiving an individual’s itinerary, typically within five days of receipt. [Id.]. Petitioner’s removal to SVG is currently scheduled for the week of April 20, 2026. [Id.]. Petitioner argues that his detention violates § 241(a)(6) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. § 1231(a)(6), and its implementing regulation, 8 C.F.R. § 241.13, and is also in violation of the Fifth Amendment. [ECF No. 1 ¶ 36–47]. In support of these claims, he argues that ICE has not and cannot provide any facts suggesting that its ability to remove Petitioner has materially changed since 2010 or that his detention is necessary to ensure compliance with the terms of his order of supervision. [Id. ¶¶ 9–10]. The Sullivan Declaration, however, indicates that circumstances have changed and that Respondents will be able to promptly effectuate Petitioner’s removal after the Court’s current stay is lifted. 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: 04/15/2026)
