Judge Brian E. Murphy: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered DENYING 2 Petitioner’s request for a temporary restraining order. Petitioner’s filing fails to meet the requirements for preliminary injunctive relief or a temporary restraining order pursuant to the Court's Local Rules or Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65, which require, inter alia, (1) the submission of a memorandum of reasons to support any motion, see Local Rule 7.1(b)(1); and (2) either notice to the adverse party or certification to support an ex parte order, see Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(b)(1); see also DuBois v. Alves, 2022 WL 4376041, at *5 (D. Mass. Aug. 22, 2022) (denying motion in part due to the failure to comply with Local Rules or Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65). As such, Petitioners’ request for an emergency temporary restraining order is DENIED without prejudice. (MBM) (Entered: 07/21/2026)

Jul 21, 2026

Judge Brian E. Murphy: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered. Respondents note that Petitioner was transferred out of the District of Massachusetts on July 17, 2026, before the habeas petition was filed. Dkt. 9 . However, Petitioner, who is pro se and currently detained, noted on his habeas filing that he “place[d] th[e] petition in the prison mail system” on July 15, 2026, before the date on which he was transferred. Dkt. 1 at 11. In light of the July 15, 2026 mailing date, Respondents are directed to include with their July 24, 2026 response, argument for why the “mailbox rule” does not apply in this case. See DeLong v. Dickhaut, 715 F.3d 382, 386 (1st Cir. 2013) (applying the “prison mailbox” rule, wherein the date a prisoner deposits a filing in the prison mail system is deemed the date of filing, to a federal habeas petitioner).

Murphy: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered DENYING 16 Motion for Emergency Stay and 17 Motion Represent on Behalf of Petitioner. “[T]he federal law permitting a habeas petition to be signed by a person acting on behalf of the petitioner, does not allow a non-attorney to represent a habeas petitioner.” Albert v.

May 9, 2025) (“Caselaw is clear that so-called “next friend” petitioners in habeas actions do not overcome the general rule that unlicensed laypersons may not represent another individual in a court proceeding.”). Accordingly, the Court cannot consider the filings made by Princewill Daniells on behalf of Petitioner. (MBM) (Entered: 07/24/2026)

Judge Brian E. Murphy: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered. Respondents’ declaration states: "On July 6, 2026, a third county reasonable fear referral was submitted to USCIS. USCIS issued a negative reasonable fear finding on or about July 14, 2026." Dkt. 23 -1 para. 21. However, Respondents provided no supporting documentation demonstrating that a reasonable fear interview took place. Petitioner claims that he never received an informal interview or reasonable fear interview. See Dkt. 1 at 13, Dkt. 3 at 4, 11. Moreover, Petitioner does not seem to have been notified of the intent to remove him to Mexico until after the informal interview took place. See Dkt. 3 at 7 (explaining that “On July 5, 2026 petitioner received a notice dated June 30, 2026 that will be removed to Mexico.”); Dkt. 23 -6 (Notice of Removal to Mexico dated June 30, 2026, but listing July 5, 2026 as the “Date of Service”). Accordingly, Respondents are ORDERED to submit to the Court on or before 5:00 p.m. on Friday, July 31, 2026, documentation of the reasonable fear interview. (MBM) (Entered: 07/29/2026)

Judge Brian E. Murphy: ELECTRONIC ORDER DENYING 1 petition for writ of habeas corpus. Petitioner argues that his detention violates due process because Immigration & Customs Enforcement ("ICE") didn’t follow procedure in providing him an informal interview under 8 C.F.R s. 241.4, and he is being removed to a third country. Dkt. 1 at 7. Respondents argue detention is lawful under 8 U.S.C. s. 1231(a)(6) because Petitioner is subject to an order of final removal and the purpose of Petitioner’s detention is to effectuate removal to a third country. Dkt. 23 at 1; Dkt. 23 -5. The Court agrees with Respondents and finds that ICE followed the relevant regulations in revoking Petitioner's release. On June 30, 2026, Petitioner was taken into custody and served with a Notice of Revocation of Release, indicating that Petitioner had violated his conditions of release and there was a significant likelihood of removal in the reasonably foreseeable future. Dkt. 23 at 2-3. That same day, ICE afforded Petitioner an informal interview, where Petitioner did not provide a written statement or provide any documents. Id. at 3; Dkt. 23 -5 at 3. Petitioner was also provided a Notice of Removal, indicating that he would be removed to Mexico. Dkt. 23 at 3; Dkt. 23 -6. United States and Immigration Services (“USCIS”) conducted a reasonable fear interview, Dkt. 23 at 3; Dkt. 26-1, and USCIS issued a negative reasonable fear finding, Dkt. 26 -1 at 1. ICE has also demonstrated that Petitioner will be “removed in the reasonably foreseeable future.” 8 C.F.R § 241.13(i)(2); see Dkt. 23 at 10, 13-15; Dkt. 23 -1 ¶ 24. Other Courts in this District have denied habeas petitions where ICE identified Mexio as a third country and there is a negative reasonable fear finding. See Arsene v. Moniz, 25-cv-13757-PBS, Dkt. 14 at 2 (D. Mass. Jan. 9, 2026); Landin-Hernandez v. Moniz, 25-cv-12889-LTS, Dkt. 12 at 1-2 (D. Mass. Oct. 23, 2025).Accordingly, because ICE followed the relevant regulations in revoking Petitioner’s release and effectuating removal, and Petitioner’s removal to Mexico is reasonably foreseeable, the habeas petition 1 is DENIED. The Court’s order staying his transfer and removal (Dkt. 5 ) is LIFTED.(MBM) (Entered: 08/06/2026)
