District Judge Leo T. Sorokin: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered. In response to the Court’s order to “provide the basis for [Respondents’] assertion that there is a significant likelihood Petitioner will be removed to Mexico in the reasonably foreseeable future,” Doc. No. 13, Respondents submitted a declaration from the Acting Unit Chief of a Removal Management Division of ICE that states that ICE plans to remove Petitioner to Liberia on Sunday, September 27, Doc. No. 15-1. The declaration states that this third-country removal “will follow the March 30th, 2025 memorandum of former DHS Secretary Kristi Noem... to effectuate Petitioner’s removal.” Doc. No. 15-1. The response does not address the applicability of the First Circuit’s recent decision in D.V.D. v. U.S. Dep't of Homeland Security, No. 26-1212, 2026 WL 2797801 (1st Cir. Sep. 18, 2026). Petitioner SHALL reply to Respondent’s filing (Doc. No. 15) by 4:00 PM today, September 24, 2026. (SED) (Entered: 09/24/2026)

District Judge Leo T. Sorokin: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered. Under the Court’s prior order, “Petitioner shall not be deported, removed, or otherwise transferred outside the United States until further Order of this Court.” Doc. No. 4 at 4. That order remains in effect. The anticipated removal to Liberia on September 27, 2026, would violate the Court’s order. Not only that, but removal to a third country not listed on Petitioner’s removal order (and apparently not disclosed to Petitioner or his counsel until the government’s filing in this Court yesterday), without effective notice and a meaningful opportunity to contest removal, and effectuated pursuant to the March 2025 DHS memorandum vacated by another session of this Court, would violate the First Circuit’s recent decision in D.V.D. v. U.S. Dep’t of Homeland Security, No. 26-1212, 2026 WL 2797801 (1st Cir. Sep. 18, 2026). (The Court notes that the Circuit dissolved its earlier stay pending appeal on the evening of September 23, 2026, after Respondents’ declaration was submitted.) Petitioner contends no such process has occurred and raises other challenges to his removal to Liberia. See Doc. No. 17. In these circumstances, and even if the Respondents’ filing is a notice of movement out of the District or the United States, the Court reaffirms its prior Order (Doc. No. 4) and ORDERS that Petitioner shall not be transferred out of this District and shall not be deported, removed, or otherwise transferred outside the United States—to Liberia or otherwise—until further Order of this Court.By September 29, 2026, Respondents shall supplement their filing to explain whether they view D.V.D. as binding on their treatment of Petitioner and, if so, whether they have complied with its requirements or how they intend to so comply.(FGD) (Entered: 09/25/2026)
