TEXT ORDER - The Court has reviewed the Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 filed by Petitioner Angel Arellano Garrido ("Petitioner"), who is currently detained at Elizabeth Detention Facility in Elizabeth, New Jersey. (ECF No. 1.) According to the Petition, Petitioner is a native of Mexico who entered the United States in or around 2001, without inspection. Petitioner alleges that he has resided in New Jersey for over twenty- five years. Petitioner also alleges that he has no open warrants or convictions that would warrant his arrest. The Court preliminarily concludes that Petitioner may be unlawfully detained under 8 U.S.C. § 1225 because Petitioner was apprehended inside the United States after residing here for an extended period, and therefore may instead be subject to detention under 8 U.S.C. § 1226. See Ayala Amaya v. Bondi, No. 25-cv-16428, 2025 WL 3033880 (D.N.J. Oct. 30, 2025). THEREFORE, unless Respondents contend that Petitioner (1) has a criminal history warranting detention; or (2) Petitioner is subject to a final order of removal; Respondents shall RELEASE Petitioner within 24 hours under the same conditions, if any, that existed prior to his detention, including, but not limited to, release: (1) within the State of New Jersey; (2) without the imposition of additional conditions (such as ankle monitors or electronic tracking devices); (3) with all clothing and outerwear worn at the time of detention, or other appropriate attire; and (4) with all personal property and documents that were seized at the time of detention. If Respondents contend that Ayala Amaya is distinguishable, they shall file a response to the Petition by August 26, 2026, setting forth the basis for that position. Petitioner may file a reply within three (3) business days after Respondents file their response. Petitioner shall not be removed from the District of New Jersey during the pendency of these proceedings. So Ordered by Judge Karen M. Williams on August 23, 2026.
