STANDING ZADVYDAS ORDER. In alien habeas cases, petitioners often challenge their detention as being unconstitutionally prolonged, either at the outset or later during the pendency of their cases. See Zadvydas v. Davis, 533 U.S. 678 (2001) ("The serious constitutional problem arising out of a statute that, in these circumstances, permits an indefinite, perhaps permanent, deprivation of human liberty without any such protection is obvious.") In order to monitor and assess the validity of any such potential claim, Respondents shall file a status report updating the Court on Petitioner's detention status six months from today. No such report need be filed if Petitioner has been released prior to that date. Signed by Judge J. Nicholas Ranjan on 6/12/2026. Text-only entry; no PDF document will issue. This text-only entry constitutes the Order of the Court or Notice on the matter. (pak) (Entered: 06/12/2026)

ORDER re 1 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus. Petitioner challenges the length of his detention, which he states has been over six months, and has a Final Order of Removal to Mexico. So the Court construes this as a Zadvydas claim. See Zadvydas v. Davis, 533 U.S. 678, 682 (2001). Zadvydas created a burden-shifting framework for determining if detention has become unreasonable. After six months detention, a petitioner may show that there is "no significant likelihood of removal in the reasonably foreseeable future." Id. at 701. Petitioner has failed to do so because he has only stated that his detention has been over six months. The Court hereby DENIES the 1 petition without prejudice, allowing Petitioner to refile if he is able to meet the above burden. Signed by Judge J. Nicholas Ranjan on 7/2/2026. Text-only entry; no PDF document will issue. This text-only entry constitutes the Order of the Court or Notice on the matter. (pak) (Entered: 07/02/2026)
