TEXT ORDER : This matter is before the Court on the Petitioner's petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. (D.E. No. 1 ("Petition" or "Pet.")). Chief Judge Renee Marie Bumb entered a Text Order enjoining Respondents from transferring Petitioner from New Jersey pending further Order of the Court. (D.E. No. 2 ). Pursuant to the All Writs Act, see 28 U.S.C. § 1651(a), Respondents SHALL NOT TRANSFER Petitioner from the District of New Jersey, and SHALL NOT REMOVE Petitioner from the United States, pending further order of this Court. Petitioner, a native and citizen of Turkey, alleges that, he entered the United States in or around 2022, filed an application for asylum (which remains pending), and is married to a U.S. citizen spouse (and a I-130 Petition for Alien Relative as well as an I-485 Application for Adjustment of Status to Lawful Permanent Resident are currently pending). (Id. Paras. 1-3). According to Petitioner, he "has never been arrested anywhere in the world." (Id. Para. 5). On June 29, 2026, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested Petitioner at a scheduled asylum interview, and he is presently detained at the Delaney Hall Contract Detention Facility in Newark, New Jersey. (Id. Paras. 4, 6). The Petition is silent regarding whether Petitioner has been charged or convicted of any crime. Accordingly, within twenty-four (24) hours of the issuance of this Text Order, Petitioner shall assert under oath whether he has any criminal history. The Court will take appropriate further action upon receipt of Petitioner's certification. The Clerk of Court shall forward a copy of the Petition, (D.E. No. 1 ), the attachments to the Petition, (D.E. Nos. 1 -1 through 1 -3), and this Text Order to the Chief, Civil Division, United States Attorney's Office, at the following email address: USANJ-HabeasCases@usdoj.gov So Ordered by Judge Esther Salas on 7/2/2026.
