TEXT ORDER - Petitioner alleges he is unlawfully detained under 8 U.S.C. 1225 without a bond hearing. Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus under 28 U.S.C. 2241 ("Petition"). Although the Petition was filed via ECF, the Court responds to the filing via email as ECF is intermittently available. If Respondents contest Petitioner's material factual allegations and/or assert Petitioner has a criminal history and/or contend that Petitioner's detention is distinguishable from the cases in this District previously addressing Section 1225, they shall file an expedited answer within three(3) days of the date of entry of this Order, and Petitioner may file a reply within three (3) days of the date of filing of Respondents' expedited answer. If Respondents do not file an expedited answer, pursuant to the Court's recent decisions in Rivera Zumba v. Bondi, No. 25-14626 (KSH), 2025 WL 2753496 (D.N.J. Sept. 26, 2025) (interpreting Section 1225(b)(2)), Rivas Rodriguez v. Rokosky, No. 25-17419 (CPO), 2025 WL 3485628 (D.N.J. Dec. 3, 2025) (interpreting Section 1225(b)(1)), and other recent decisions in this District interpreting Section 1225, the Court holds that Petitioner's mandatory detention violates the statute and due process. Therefore, in lieu of an expedited answer, Respondents shall release Petitioner within two (2) days of this Order, and file a status report of compliance with this Order within two (2) days of Petitioner's release. Petitioner shall not be transferred outside the District of New Jersey pending further Order of the Court.The Clerk of Court shall docket this ORDER and assign a United States District Judge to this matter on July 13, 2026, when ECF is restored.. So Ordered by Chief Judge Renee Marie Bumb on 7/11/2026. (eaj, ) (Entered: 07/12/2026)
