SELF-EXECUTING ORDER: The Court is in receipt of the Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus, (ECF No. 1), in which Petitioner alleges that they have been unlawfully detained under 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b) without a bond hearing. IT IS ORDERED that, in light of Petitioner's medical condition, by April 2, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. Respondents shall do one of the following: (1) file an answer to the Petition, responding on a paragraph-by-paragraph basis, together with a legal memorandum or letter brief that: (a) identifies the specific statutory or other legal authority on which Petitioner was initially detained and on which Respondents rely for their assertion that the present detention is lawful; and (b) states whether Respondents contend that this case is factually or legally distinguishable from Bethancourt-Soto v. Soto, 807 F. Supp. 3d 397 (D.N.J. 2025), and Rodriguez v. Rokosky, No. 25-17419, 2025 WL 3485628 (D.N.J. Dec. 3, 2025), and, if so, explains the basis for any such distinction; OR (2) release Petitioner by that same date and time. If Respondents do not timely file the answer and submission described above, the Court will deem Respondents to have elected release rather than merits briefing. In that event, Petitioner shall be RELEASED under the same conditions, if any, that existed before their detention, including:(1) release in the State of New Jersey, if Petitioner was initially arrested in New Jersey, or otherwise as close to the place of initial arrest as reasonably practicable; (2) no additional conditions of; and (3) return of all personal property seized at the time of arrest in the same condition as it existed immediately prior to arrest. If release occurs pursuant to this Order, Respondents shall promptly file a letter on the docket confirming the date, time, and location of release and certifying that the foregoing conditions have been satisfied. Additionally, it is ORDERED that Respondents are PERMANENTLY ENJOINED from arresting or detaining Petitioner under § 1225; that Respondents shall not arrest, detain, or otherwise take Petitioner into custody under 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a) for fourteen (14) days following their release; that any future detention of Petitioner must comply with all statutory and constitutional requirements; and that this Court shall retain jurisdiction over any effort to re-arrest or re-detain Petitioner, and Petitioner may move to reopen these proceedings without filing a new habeas petition. So Ordered by Judge Christine P. O'Hearn on 4/1/2026. (hem, nm) (Entered: 04/01/2026)
