*** VACATED *** TEXT ORDER: According to petitioner, respondents are presently detaining her under the mandatory detention provisions of 8 U.S.C. § 1225. (ECF No. 1 pp. 3, 4.) I preliminarily conclude that petitioner is being unlawfully detained under 8 U.S.C. §1225 because petitioner was apprehended inside the United States after residing here for an extended period, and therefore she should have been detained under 8 U.S.C. §1226. See Ayala Amaya v. Bondi, No. 25-cv-16428, 2025 WL 3033880, D.N.J. Oct. 30, 2025). If respondents contend that Ayala Amaya is factually distinguishable, they shall file an expedited answer to the Petition within 3 days of this Order, and petitioner shall file any reply within 3 days of the answer. Otherwise, respondents shall RELEASE petitioner within 24 hours under the same conditions, if any, that existed prior to her detention, including, but not limited to, release: (1) within the State of New Jersey; (2) without the imposition of additional conditions (such as ankle monitors or electronic tracking devices); (3) with all clothing and outerwear worn at the time of detention, or other appropriate attire; and (4) with all personal property and documents that were seized at the time of detention. So Ordered by Judge Edward S. Kiel on 4/29/2026. (gn) Modified on 5/4/2026 (sm). [Transferred from New Jersey on 5/5/2026.] (Entered: 04/29/2026)
