OPINION AND ORDER. Ariel Torres Martinez's Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (Doc. 1) remains under advisement. Within 30 days of this Order, ICE shall conduct a custody review to determine whether Torres Martinez poses a danger to the co mmunity sufficient to justify continued detention. Within seven days of the custody review, the respondents shall file a supplemental response, addressing the results of the review and any updates on removal efforts. Torres Martinez may file a reply within three days of the supplemental response. Because ICE recently transferred Torres Martinez to a different facility and does not forward legal mail to detainees after transferring them, the government must certify it has served this Order on him within three days. Signed by Judge Sheri Polster Chappell on 10/2/2026. (NMC)
