MINUTE entry before the Honorable Andrea R. Wood: In Court status hearing held on 11/12/2025. Respondents' counsel stated his understanding that Petitioner was previously removed from the United States pursuant to an expedited removal order. Accordingly, Respondents believe he is subject to mandatory detention pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1231. If verified, Petitioner's status as an alien who reentered the United States illegally after having been removed under an order of removal would appear to preclude the relief sought in the present petition. In light of the discussion on the record, the briefing schedule entered on 11/7/2025 5 is stricken. Respondents, as soon as practicable, shall provide Petitioner with documentation verifying their understanding of his status as an alien previously removed from the United States pursuant to an expedited removal order. By 11/18/2025, and the parties shall file a status report setting forth: (1) whether Respondents have been able to verify Petitioner's status; (2) if it is confirmed that Petitioner was previously removed from the United States, whether Petitioner has any basis to proceed with the current petition; and (3) if Petitioner's status as an alien previously removed is not confirmed, a proposed briefing schedule on Petitioner's petition for a writ of Habeas Corpus 1 and emergency motion for temporary restraining order 2 .
