TEXT ORDER: Petitioner Mauro Panjon Mayancela 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"). Along with his Petition, Petitioner also filed a motion for a temporary restraining order seeking an order enjoining his transfer or removal from outside the District of New Jersey and for his immediate release. D.E. 2 ("TRO Motion"). It is ORDERED that, if Respondents contest Petitioner's factual allegations and/or contend that Petitioner has a criminal record and/or assert this case is distinguishable from the cases in this district previously addressing § 1225, they shall file an expedited answer to the Petition within five days of the date of entry of this Order, and Petitioner may file a reply within three days of the date of filing of Respondents' expedited answer. If Respondents do not file expedited answer, under this Court's decision in Lomeu v. Soto, No. 25-16589, 2025 WL 2981296, at *9 (D.N.J. Oct. 23, 2025), and other recent decisions in this District interpreting § 1225, including Rivera Zumba v. Bondi, No. 25-14626, 2025 WL 2753496(D.N.J. Sept. 26, 2025) (interpreting § 1225(b)(2)), Rivas Rodriguez v. Rokosky, No. 25-17419, 2025 WL 3485628 (D.N.J. Dec. 3, 2025) (interpreting § 1225(b)(1)), accepting Petitioner's allegations as true, the Court holds Petitioner's mandatory detention under Section 1225(b) is unlawful and further violates his liberty interest protected by the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment. If Respondents do not file an expedited answer in opposition, they shall instead release Petitioner within five days of this order and file a written notice of Petitioner's release within three days. If Respondents subsequently detain Petitioner under 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a), they shall comply with the regulations at 8 C.F.R. § 236.1(c)(8) and (d). The TRO Motion, D.E. 2, is DISMISSED as MOOT because the Court has enjoined Petitioner's transfer from New Jersey and ordered an expedited resolution of this matter.. So Ordered by Judge Evelyn Padin on 5/31/2026. (jml, ) (Entered: 05/31/2026)
