TEXT ORDER: According to Petitioner, Respondents are presently detaining him under the mandatory detention provisions of 8 U.S.C. § 1225 (ECF No. 1 at 10-13). This Court preliminarily concludes 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 he should have been detained under 8 U.S.C. §1226. See Patel v. Almodovar, No. 25-cv-1534, 2025 WL 3012323 (D.N.J. Oct. 28, 2025). If Respondents contend that Patel 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 his 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 Susan D. Wigenton on 5/20/26. (cds) (Entered: 05/20/2026)
