TEXT ORDER: This matter comes before the Court upon Petitioner Angel Ivan Quillay Moyolema's Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2241(ECF No. 1, Petition), challenging his detention by immigration authorities under 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b) as unlawful. Respondents filed an answer to the Petition (ECF No. 7, Answer). Respondents do not challenge this Court's jurisdiction and do not dispute the material facts alleged in the Petition. (Answer at 3.) Respondents submit Petitioner is lawfully detained as an applicant for admission without a bond hearing under 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2). (Id. at 2.) Respondents, however, acknowledge that they rely on a statutory interpretation rejected by courts within this district, including Rivera Zumba v. Bondi, No. 25-14626 (KSH), 2025 WL 2753496 (D.N.J. Sept. 26, 2025). (Id. at 1, n. 1 and 3.) Based on the allegations in the Petition and this Court's prior decision in Rivera Zumba, supra, the Court GRANTS the Petition. It is ORDERED that Respondents shall release Petitioner within 24 hours and confirm his release in writing on the docket within three (3) days. The Court's Text Order (ECF No. 2) that temporarily enjoins Respondents from transferring Petitioner from this District REMAINS IN EFFECT until Petitioner is released or the proceedings conclude. So Ordered by Judge Katharine S. Hayden on 8/13/26. (cm, ) (Entered: 08/13/2026)
