TEXT ORDER - Petitioner has allegedly resided in the United States for over 25 years and was detained by ICE on July 16, 2026, and placed in removal proceedings. (ECF No. 1, Petition at 23-29.) The Petition vaguely alludes to "a prior domestic matter involving Mr. Sumba and his longtime partner." (Id. at 28.) The Court declines to order pre-answer relief and will require an expedited answer. Within 3 days, Respondents shall file an expedited answer addressing the statutory basis for Petitioner's detention and provide all reasonably obtainable information about Petitioner's criminal and/or domestic violence history. The answer shall also provide copies of Petitioner's medical records under seal and address whether Petitioner has received his dentures and is being treated for diabetes at Elizabeth Detention Center. If necessary, Petitioner's counsel may file a reply brief within 3 days of the answer and may supplement the evidence regarding Petitioner's criminal history and/or medical conditions. The stay of transfer entered at ECF No. 3 shall remain in effect until this matter concludes, and the Motion for a TRO at ECF No. 2, which seeks Petitioner's release, is denied due to insufficient evidence regarding Petitioner's criminal history. So Ordered by Judge Madeline Cox Arleo on 7/30/2026. (aa, ) (Entered: 07/30/2026)

TEXT ORDER- The Court has reviewed the parties arguments and the relevant record, including Petitioner's medical records, which indicate that he had uncontrolled diabetes prior to his detention at Delaney Hall and is currently being treated for diabetes and other conditions by medical staff. Petitioner seeks immediate release based on his medical and psychological conditions, but he has not shown extraordinary circumstances or deliberate indifference by respondents, who are providing him with treatment. Therefore, his medical claims are not cognizable in this habeas action. See Hope v. Warden, 972 F.3d 310, 324-25 (3d Cir. 2020). Based on its prior decisions, the Court holds that Petitioner is unlawfully detained under § 1225(b), in violation of the INA and his Fifth Amendment right to due process. Considering Petitioner's criminal history, the Court will order a bond hearing and makes no determination about whether Petitioner is a flight risk or a danger. It is, therefore, ORDERED that in accordance with 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a), within seven (7) days of the date of entry of this Text Order, Respondents shall provide Petitioner with an individualized bond hearing before an immigration judge who shall assess whether he presents a flight risk or a danger to the community, pursuant to 8 C.F.R. § 236.1(c)(8), (d)(1). It is further ORDERED that Petitioner's counsel shall have notice of the bond hearing, a reasonable opportunity to prepare, and be permitted to reschedule the hearing outside the seven-day period, if necessary, without seeking this Court's intervention. It is further ORDERED that within three (3) days of that bond hearing, Respondents shall file a written notice of the outcome of that hearing with this Court and request to close this matter. So Ordered by Judge Madeline Cox Arleo on 8/14/2026. (aa, ) (Entered: 08/14/2026)
