TEXT ORDER - The Court has reviewed the Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. (ECF No. 1.) Petitioner alleges he is a native and citizen of Mexico who entered the United States unlawfully in 2014, and has resided here since. Petitioner further alleges that he was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement on June 11, 2026 and remains detained at Elizabeth Contract Detention Facility in Elizabeth, New Jersey. Petitioner contends his continued detention violates the Immigration and Nationality Act, and 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 Amaya is 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 her detention. If Respondents contend that Ayala Amaya is distinguishable, they shall file a response to the Petition by June 19, 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 transferred outside the District of New Jersey during the pendency of these proceedings. So Ordered by Judge Karen M. Williams on June 12, 2026.
