TEXT ORDER: Petitioner Yarsinho Eyair Mejia Narvasta filed a Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 alleging he is unlawfully detained by immigration authorities under 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2). D.E. 1 ("Petition"). It is ORDERED that, if Respondents contest Petitioner's factual allegations and/or contend that Petitioner has a criminal record and/or assert this case is distinguishable from the cases in this District previously addressing § 1225, they shall file an expedited answer within 5 days of this Order, and Petitioner may file a reply within 3 days of the date of filing of Respondents' expedited answer.If Respondents do not file an expedited answer, under this Court's decision in Lomeu v. Soto, No. 25-16589, 2025 WL 2981296, at *9 (D.N.J. Oct. 23, 2025), and other recent decisions in this District interpreting § 1225 including Rivera Zumba v. Bondi, No. 25-14626, 2025 WL 2753496 (D.N.J. Sept. 26, 2025) (interpreting § 1225(b)(2)), Rivas Rodriguez v. Rokosky, No. 25-17419, 2025 WL 3485628 (D.N.J. Dec. 3, 2025) (interpreting § 1225(b)(1)), accepting Petitioner's allegations as true, the Court holds that Petitioner's mandatory detention under § 1225(b) is unlawful and violates his Fifth Amendment right to due process. If Respondents do not file an expedited answer in opposition, they shall instead release Petitioner within 5 days of this Order and file a written notice of Petitioner's release within 3 days of his release. If Respondents subsequently detain Petitioner under 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a), they shall comply with the regulations at 8 C.F.R. § 236.1(c)(8) and (d)(1). So Ordered by Judge Evelyn Padin on 4/13/2026.
