ORDER FOR SERVICE--It is further ORDERED that:1. Respondents must file a response to the Petition (Dkt. No. 1) within 10 days after service. See 28 U.S.C. § 2243. The Court construes the Petition as raising, at least in part, a Fifth Amendment Due Process claim which Respondents should address. See, e.g., Bonilla Chicas v. Warden, __ F. Supp.3d __, No. 26-CV-131, 2026 WL 539475, at *6 (S.D. Tex. Feb. 20, 2026); Marceau v. Noem, No. 26-CV-237-KC, 2026 WL 368953, at *1 (W.D. Tex. Feb. 9, 2026). Respondents may, in lieu of a response, file a motion requesting additional time of up to 20 days to respond. See id.a. The response must include all relevant background information and, where possible, supporting documentation, as to the following: (a) the date Petitioner entered the United States; (b) whether Petitioner was previously apprehended and released by immigration authorities; and (c) the status of Petitioners removal proceedings. 2. If Petitioner elects to file a reply, he may do so no later than 7 days after the Respondents response is filed. Signed by Judge Orlando L. Garcia. (bt) (Entered: 04/10/2026)
