TEXT ORDER: The Court having reviewed Petitioner's habeas petition in this matter (ECF No. 1 ), which alleges that Petitioner is unlawfully under the Government's current interpretation of 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2), it is ORDERED that, if Respondents contest Petitioner's factual allegations and/or contend that Petitioner has a criminal record and/or assert this case is distinguishable from the cases in this district previously addressing § 1225(b)(2), they shall file an expedited answer to the Petition within 72 hours of this Order, and Petitioner may file a reply within 48 hours of the time of filing of Respondents' expedited answer. If Respondents do not file expedited answer, and to the extent that the Government's detention of Petitioner under § 1225(b)(2) relies on the same statutory interpretation argument this Court has rejected in cases including Valerio v. Joyce, No. 25-17225, 2025 WL 3251445 (D.N.J. Nov. 21, 2025), Hueso v. Soto, No. 26-1455, 2026 WL 539271 (D.N.J. Feb. 26, 2026), and Fajardo-Nugra v. Soto, No. 26-975, 2026 WL 579192 (D.N.J. Mar. 2, 2026), and accepting Petitioner's allegations as substantially true, the Court holds Petitioner's mandatory detention under Section 1225(b)(2) is unlawful, and the Government is ORDERED to release Petitioner within 72 hours of this order and file a written notice of Petitioner's release within twenty four hours of its occurrence. The Government shall thereafter not re-detain Petitioner under § 1226(a) for a period of at least fourteen 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 Government shall not transfer Petitioner out of Delaney Hall until this matter concludes. The Government shall further inform the Court of any transfer of Petitioner out of Delaney Hall within twenty-four hours of its occurrence, including those which predate the Court's injunction on transfers. In addition to what is set out above, a declaration from ICE shall also be filed. It shall indicate that ICE has (i) received this Court's Order prohibiting Petitioner's transfer from Delaney Hall; and (ii) received written legal advice from the United States Attorney's Office on the subject of ICE's obligation to comply with that Order. The declaration shall be filed on the public docket of the Court on or before 5:00 p.m. on July 7. The declaration must be executed by either the Newark ICE Field Office Director or by the Newark ICE Field Office Deputy Director. The declaration may be signed by hand or electronically. Finally, the United States Attorney's Office shall immediately file a letter on the Court's public docket if an Order of the Court is violated in connection with this case. So Ordered by Judge Zahid N. Quraishi on 7/7/2026. (kas, ) (Entered: 07/07/2026)

TEXT ORDER: In filing his purportedly pro se habeas petition in this matter through the Court's ADS system, Petitioner filed the petition and a pro se consent to receive notices through the following email address: info@jhimmigrantcenter.com. This email address does not appear to belong to Petitioner himself, and appears instead to belong to an individual purporting to be an attorney in Jackson Heights, New York. That person, however, has neither entered an appearance on Petitioner's behalf in this matter nor identified themselves as Petitioner's attorney or next friend. As no attorney has entered an appearance in this matter or sought to appear pro hac vice on Petitioner's behalf, it therefore appears that the person or organization filing on Petitioner's behalf may be improperly acting as a representative for Petitioner in this matter. Petitioner therefore shall clarify in writing what his relationship is to this person or organization, what function they serve in this matter, and whether they are acting as her legal representatives in this matter within seven days. Failure to provide a satisfactory response to this Order may result in appropriate sanctions for the persons involved. So Ordered by Judge Zahid N. Quraishi on 7/7/2026. (kas) (Entered: 07/07/2026)
