TEXT ORDER: The Court has reviewed the Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 filed by Petitioner, who is currently detained at the Delaney Hall Detention Facility in Newark, New Jersey. (ECF No. 1.) According to the Petition, Petitioner entered the United States in October 2017 and has resided here since. Petitioner further alleges that ICE officers arrested him on or about July 2, 2026, while he was leaving his residence in Queens, New York, to report to work, without presenting a warrant or providing an explanation for his arrest. Petitioner alleges that he was thereafter transferred to the Delaney Hall Detention Facility, where he remains detained, and that his continued detention has caused substantial hardship to his minor son and family. Petitioner contends that his continued detention is unlawful and violates the Fourth Amendment, the Fifth Amendment, and the Accardi Doctrine. (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 his detention. If Respondents contend that Ayala Amaya is distinguishable, they shall file a response to the Petition by July 13, 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 removed from or transferred outside the District of New Jersey during the pendency of these proceedings. In light of the relief granted, Petitioner's Motion for Temporary Restraining Order (ECF No. 2 ) is DENIED. So Ordered by Judge Jamel K. Semper on 7/6/2026. (sms) (Entered: 07/06/2026)
