Jun 05, 2026
TEXT ORDER that the Court has reviewed Respondents' letter 19 and is not persuaded that the transfer of Petitioner from Delaney Hall moots the concerns raised by his petition. The Court will hear oral argument on that issue at the beginning of Monday's hearing. The parties are ordered to be prepared to testify as previously instructed. Respondents will file their list of witnesses by no later than noon today. The Court notes that this is now the third time it has ordered Respondents to identify their witnesses. Failure to do so by noon today is likely to result in the issuance of an Order to Show Cause why sanctions shall not be entered. So Ordered by Judge Zahid N. Quraishi on 06/05/2026.

TEXT ORDER that, in response to Respondents' identification of Petitioner's counsel among their witnesses for the hearing, the Court hereby clarifies that it will not be considering counsel's opinion provided in her declaration as part of its determinations with respect to the conditions at Delaney Hall. (See Minogue Declaration paras. 11, 13, ECF No. 1-1). Her testimony is therefore not relevant. Moreover, counsel's declaration makes clear that her proffered opinions are based on reports rather than personal knowledge. See Fed. R. Evid. 602 and 701. Accordingly, the Court will not require her testimony at the hearing on Monday. The Court will hear testimony from Petitioner Freiman Xaviel Hamui Morales and Alberto Mendoza, Supervisory Detention and Deportation Officer. So Ordered by Judge Zahid N. Quraishi on 06/05/2026.

TEXT ORDER that, in light of the Order granting an administrative stay issued today by the Third Circuit Court of Appeals with respect to the evidentiary hearing scheduled for Monday, that hearing is hereby STAYED. (See App. No. 26-2429, ECF No. 4.) The Court of Appeals' Order also invited this Court to respond to Respondents' petition for writ of mandamus within the next 14 days. The undersigned hereby notifies the parties that the Court will submit a response to that writ. Because the Court of Appeals' administrative stay order applies only to the evidentiary hearing, Respondents are reminded that the Court's first Order to Show Cause (ECF No. 4) regarding Petitioner's release remains in effect and Respondents' deadline to respond remains 06/09/2026.So Ordered by Judge Zahid N. Quraishi on 06/07/2026. (Gonzalez, P) (Entered: 06/07/2026)
