Minute Order by Judge Jinsook Ohta: Minute Order by Judge Jinsook Ohta: Akram Ahmad Abdelfattah Adawi filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus challenging his detention as unlawfully prolonged in violation of his due process rights. See Dkt. 1. Petitioner has also filed a motion to proceed in forma pauperis in which he attests he has no means to pay the $5.00 filing fee. Dkt. 2. Because Petitioner attests that he is in detention and has no income or assets, the Court GRANTS Petitioners application to proceed in forma pauperis. [Dkt. 2]1. After the entry of a final removal order, a noncitizen is subject to mandatory detention for 90 days, known as the "removal period." 8 U.S.C. § 1231(a)(1). The removal period begins on the latest of three dates: (i) when, as relevant here, the removal order becomes administratively final; (ii) if the removal order is judicially reviewed and a court issues a stay, the date of the court's final order; or (iii) if the noncitizen is detained or confined other than under immigration processes, the date they are released from such detention or confinement. See id. § 1231(a)(1)(B)(i)(iii). 2. On June 15, 2025, an immigration judge denied Petitioner's asylum application and all other claims for relief. Dkt. 6 at 2; Dkt. 6-1 at 11. On February 2, 2026, the Board of Immigration Appeals dismissed Petitioner's appeal. Dkt. 6-1 at 18. As a result, Petitioner's removal order became administratively final on February 2, 2026. Id. Because Petitioner is subject to mandatory detention until May 3, 2026, the Court DENIES without prejudice the petition for writ of habeas corpus. [Dkt. 1] 3. Because Respondents assert that Immigrations and Customs Enforcement is prepared to remove Petitioner to Jordan, Dkt. 6 at 4, Respondents are ORDERED to file a declaration by 5 p.m. on May 4, 2026 providing a status update on whether Petitioner has been removed to Jordan. If Petitioner has not been removed (1) by that date and (2) to the correct country (Jordan), he may amend his habeas petition accordingly and renew his request for relief.4. The April 16, 2026 hearing is VACATED. The Clerk of the Court is directed to close the case. Signed by Judge Jinsook Ohta on 04/10/2026. (rh) (Entered: 04/10/2026)
