TEXT ORDER: The Court has reviewed the Petition (ECF No. 1), Respondents' Answer (ECF No. 5), and Petitioner's Exhibits (ECF No. 6). Respondents contend that Petitioner is mandatorily detained under 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(1)(B)(iii)(IV), or alternatively under 8 U.S.C. § 1231(a), based on an August 12, 2026 expedited-removal order. (ECF No. 5.) Respondents, however, state that Petitioner's date and location of entry are "unknown." (Id. at 1.) Petitioner has submitted evidence, including tax filings dating to at least 2020, that appears to establish her presence in the United States years before her August 2026 apprehension. (ECF No. 6.) Respondents have not adequately addressed how Petitioner falls within the class of noncitizens subject to expedited removal under 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(1), or why the administrative finality of the expedited-removal order, standing alone, establishes detention authority where the statutory predicate for expedited removal is disputed. See 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(1)(A)(i); 8 C.F.R. § 235.3(b)(7). Accordingly, Respondents shall file a supplemental response addressing these issues, including the factual and statutory basis for Petitioner's placement in expedited removal and the applicability of § 1231(a), no later than five (5) days from the date of this Order. Petitioner may reply within two (2) days thereafter. So Ordered by Judge Jamel K. Semper on 8/28/2026. (ps) (Entered: 08/28/2026)
