TEXT ORDER This matter comes before the Court upon Petitioner Jhonny Panjon-Mayancela's petition for writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. 2241, Dkt. No. 1 ("Petition") and Respondents' answer in opposition to the Petition, Dkt. No. 5 ("Answer"). Petitioner alleges that on April 30, 2026, he was unlawfully detained by immigration authorities under 8 U.S.C. 1225(b)(2) without a bond hearing. Petition at 5-7. Respondents submit that Petitioner is lawfully detained under 8 U.S.C. 1231(a)(5) because he is subject to reinstatement of a prior final order of removal, entered on October 15, 2008. Answer at 1; Dkt. No. 5-2, Ex. B ("Order of Removal"); D.E. 5-4, Ex. D ("Notice of Intent/Decision to Reinstate Final Order"); Dkt. No. 5-5, Ex. E ("Warrant of Removal/Deportation"). The Court finds that Petitioner is subject to detention under 8 U.S.C. 1231(a)(5), which provides, "If the Attorney General finds that an alien has reentered the United States illegally after having been removed or having departed voluntarily, under an order of removal, the prior order of removal is reinstated from its original date and is not subject to being reopened or reviewed, the alien is not eligible and may not apply for any relief under this chapter, and the alien shall be removed under the prior order at any time after the reentry." Detention is mandatory for a 90-day removal period. 8 U.S.C. 1231(a)(1), (2). There is a six-month presumptively reasonable detention period to remove a noncitizen. Zadvydas v. Davis, 533 U.S. 678, 701 (2001). The Court holds that Petitioner's present detention is lawful. Therefore, the Petition is DENIED without prejudice. The Order staying Petitioner's transfer or removal outside New Jersey, Dkt. No. 2, is lifted. So Ordered by Chief Judge Renee Marie Bumb on 05/29/2026. (Costigan, Roberta) (Entered: 05/29/2026)
