Judge Indira Talwani: ELECTRONIC ORDER: where Respondents' Notice of Intent to Transfer [ 16 ] states that Petitioner is currently housed on an emergency basis in the ICE Boston Field Office, ICE lacks an appropriate ICE facility to detain women in Massachusetts, and bed space is currently available at the Donald W. Wyatt Detention Facility in Central Falls, Rhode Island, id. at 12, and where Respondents do not contend that transfer from the District of Massachusetts divests this court of jurisdiction and venue over the habeas case, id. at 2, the court grants Respondents' alternate request to allow the transport of Petitioner, effective immediately, to the Donald W. Wyatt Detention Facility in Central Falls, Rhode Island. Respondents' request that the court dismiss the Petition and vacate its order requiring advance notice of intent to transfer remains under advisement.(SEC) (Entered: 02/02/2026)
