Judge Richard G. Stearns: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered. After a hearing, the court will deny petitioner Jeremy Garcia Vasquez's petition for writ of habeas corpus. Petitioner concedes that he fits within the detention provisions of the Laken Riley Act, 8 U.S.C. s. 1226(c)(1)(E). He maintains, however, that the application of the Act in his case based on his arrest for a "petty" offense (shoplifting) constitutes a violation of due process. The court disagrees and declines to follow the reasoning of the district court in Doe v. Muniz, 2025 WL 2576819 (D. Mass. Sept. 5, 2025), regarding the constitutionality of the Act. While the court can conceive of a case in which indefinite mandatory detention under the Act might ripen into violation of petitioner's due process rights, that is not this case (petitioner has been in custody at this point for roughly two months). The petitioner's constitutional objection to the denial of the writ is noted and preserved.(RGS, law3) (Entered: 12/09/2025)
