TEXT ORDER: Pro se Petitioner Gabriel Omar Cedeno Castro filed a Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 alleging he is unlawfully detained by immigration authorities under 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b). D.E. 1 ("Petition"). Petitioner alleges he is a citizen of Panama who entered the United States on or about June 30, 2024, and was placed in immigration proceedings and later released by immigration authorities under reporting requirements and supervision conditions. Id. 4-6. Petitioner alleges that he complied with immigration reporting requirements for a substantial time but missed one reporting appointment and attempted to reschedule. Id. 7-8. Petitioner seeks a bond hearing where the Government bears the burden of proof by clear and convincing evidence that he is a flight risk or danger or, alternatively, for the Court to order his release. Id. at 6-7. Petitioner also filed an emergency motion to expedite resolution of his Petition. D.E. 2 ("Emergency Motion"). Petitioner shall, within 48 hours of the filing of this Order, submit a supplement to his Petition describing the circumstances of missing his reporting appointment and his attempt to reschedule. The Court has issued an order enjoining Petitioner's transfer outside the District of New Jersey pending his proceeding, and the Court will order an expedited answer to the Petition upon the filing of Petitioner's supplement to his Petition. Therefore, the Clerk shall DISMISS as MOOT the Emergency Motion, D.E. 2 .. So Ordered by Judge Evelyn Padin on 5/20/2026. (bt) (Entered: 05/20/2026)
