Judge Brian E. Murphy: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered GRANTING the petition. The Court ordered Respondents to “determine whether Petitioner is a member of the class certified in Guerrero Orellana v. Moniz, No. 25-CV-12664-PBS (D. Mass.), and notify the Court no later than 1:00 p.m. on Thursday, May 21, 2026,” and, along with that response, provide “copies of any Notices to Appear, Warrants for Arrest of Alien, or Notices of Custody Determination issued in connection with Petitioner’s current detention.” Dkt. 4 at 2. Respondents failed to timely respond to the petition—indeed, as of the writing of this order, Respondents still have yet to respond—or to provide copies of any documents that support lawful detention of Petitioner. Because the Court has no basis to conclude that Petitioner’s detention is lawful, the petition is GRANTED and Petitioner is ORDERED immediately released. (MBM) (Entered: 05/21/2026)
