TEXT ORDER: The Court has reviewed the Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (ECF No. 1) filed by Petitioner, Jordy Alvarado Cisneros, who is presently detained at Delaney Hall Detention Facility in Newark, New Jersey. Petitioner, a citizen of Nicaragua, alleges that he entered the United States without inspection in 2022, was granted humanitarian parole, and has resided here since. Petitioner further represents that he timely filed an application for asylum and has reported to all required ICE check-ins. Petitioner alleges that he was detained by ICE on February 2, 2026, and contends that his detention is unlawful and violates the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment. Accordingly, it is ORDERED that Respondents shall SHOW CAUSE, on or before April 22, 2026, why the Petition should not be granted. Petitioner may file a reply within three (3) business days after Respondents file their response. Petitioner shall serve a copy of this Order and the Petition upon Respondents within two (2) business days of the entry of this Order and shall promptly file proof of service on the docket. Petitioner shall not be removed from New Jersey during the pendency of these proceedings. So Ordered by Judge Jamel K. Semper on 4/15/2026. (sms) (Entered: 04/15/2026)

TEXT ORDER: This matter comes before the Court upon a Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. The Court has reviewed the Petition (ECF No. 1), the Response (ECF No. 6), and the Reply (ECF No. 7) and finds that Petitioner is detained pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a), which requires an individualized bond hearing. Accordingly, the Petition is GRANTED IN PART. It is on this day of May 4, 2026, ORDERED that Respondents shall provide Petitioner with an individualized bond hearing pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a) and 8 C.F.R. § 236.1(d) within seven (7) days of the date of this Order, and it is further ORDERED that within three (3) days of the bond hearing, Respondents shall file a letter advising the Court of the outcome upon which the Court will close this matter absent further relief being warranted. Petitioner shall not be transferred from the District of New Jersey during the pendency of these proceedings. So Ordered by Judge Jamel K. Semper on 5/4/2026. (sms) (Entered: 05/04/2026)

Text Order: The Court has reviewed the Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 filed by Petitioner, Jordy Alvarado Cisneros, who is presently detained at Delaney Hall Detention Center in Newark, New Jersey. (ECF No. 1.) The Court takes judicial notice of the substantially similar habeas action presently pending before this Court in Alvarado Cisneros v. Soto et al., Civil Action No. 2:26-cv-03833-JKS. Both actions involve the same Petitioner, challenge the same detention, name substantially similar Respondents, and seek materially identical relief. Because duplicative litigation unnecessarily burdens the parties and the Court, maintenance of two parallel habeas actions is inappropriate. See Walton v. Eaton Corp., 563 F.2d 66, 70-71 (3d Cir. 1977) (en banc). Accordingly, this matter is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE as duplicative of Civil Action No. 2:26-cv-03833-JKS. To the extent Petitioner seeks to assert additional facts, claims, or requests for relief not contained in the petition pending in Civil Action No. 2:26-cv-03833-JKS, Petitioner may file an amended petition or otherwise seek appropriate relief in that action. The Clerk shall CLOSE this case. So Ordered by Judge Jamel K. Semper on 6/15/2026. (sms) (Entered: 06/15/2026)
