TEXT ORDER: Petitioner Edgar Segundo Montalvo Jarrin 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"), and a motion for temporary restraining order, D.E. 2 ("TRO Motion"), seeking to enjoin his transfer or removal from New Jersey and for immediate release. Respondents are ORDERED to immediately provide Petitioner with his prescribed antihypertensive medication. It is further ORDERED that, if Respondents contest Petitioner's factual allegations and/or assert this case is distinguishable from the cases in this district previously addressing § 1225, they shall file an expedited answer within 24 hours of the date of entry of this Order, and Petitioner may file a reply within 48 hours of the date of filing of Respondents' expedited answer.If Respondents do not file an 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, they shall instead release Petitioner within 24 hours 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 is DENIED as MOOT because this Court has enjoined Petitioner's transfer from New Jersey and ordered an expedited resolution of this matter. So Ordered by Judge Evelyn Padin on 6/9/2026. (bt) (Entered: 06/09/2026)
