TEXT ORDER: The Court has reviewed the Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 filed by Petitioner Madi Guiatin ("Petitioner"), who is currently detained at Delaney Hall Detention Facility in Newark, New Jersey. (ECF No. 1.) According to the Petition, Petitioner is a native and citizen of Burkina Faso who entered the United States on or about November 22, 2021. Petitioner alleges that he has pursued asylum protection since October 2022, has been authorized to work in the United States, has no criminal history, and has complied with the immigration process. Petitioner further alleges that he was taken into ICE custody on January 5, 2026, while appearing for a scheduled Master Hearing before the Immigration Court in Newark, New Jersey, and that his asylum application and removal proceedings remain pending. Petitioner contends that his continued detention without a meaningful individualized custody determination violates the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment. (Id.) Based on the allegations in the Petition, the Court preliminarily concludes that Petitioner may be unlawfully detained under 8 U.S.C. § 1225 because he was apprehended within the United States after residing here for an extended period and therefore may instead be subject to detention under 8 U.S.C. § 1226. See Ayala Amaya v. Bondi, No. 25-cv-16428, 2025 WL 3033880(D.N.J. Oct. 30, 2025). Accordingly, if Respondents do not contend that Ayala Amayais meaningfully distinguishable from the circumstances presented here, Respondents shall RELEASE Petitioner within twenty-four (24) hours under the same conditions, if any, that existed prior to his detention, including release: (1) within the State of New Jersey; (2) without 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 seized at the time of detention. If Respondents contend that Ayala Amayais distinguishable, they shall file a response to the Petition and Motion for Temporary Restraining Order on or before June 9, 2026, setting forth the basis for that position. Petitioner may file a reply within three (3) business days after Respondents file their response. Petitioner shall not be removed from the District of New Jersey during the pendency of these proceedings. So Ordered by Judge Jamel K. Semper on 6/2/2026. (sms) (Entered: 06/02/2026)
