TEXT ORDER - The Court has reviewed the Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241, filed by Petitioner, Darwin Gonzalo Campana Caguana ("Petitioner"). (ECF No. 1.) According to the Petition, Petitioner is a citizen of Ecuador who entered the United States in January 2023. Petitioner alleges Respondents subsequently granted him humanitarian parole and released him from custody on March 3, 2023. On August 13, 2026, Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE") officers re-detained Petitioner, and he is currently detained at the Delaney Hall Detention Facility in New Jersey. Petitioner alleges that Respondents have provided no individualized reason or explanation for his re-detention and have denied him an opportunity for a custody redetermination. He contends that his continued detention violates 8 U.S.C. §§ 1225(b)(2) and 1226(a), as well as the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment. (Id.) If Respondents determine that Petitioner (1) does NOT have a criminal history, and (2) is NOT subject to a final order of removal, Respondents shall release Petitioner within twenty-four (24) hours of the entry of this Order (a) in the State of New Jersey, if Petitioner was initially arrested in New Jersey, or otherwise as close to the place of initial arrest as reasonably practicable; (b) without additional conditions (such as ankle monitors or other electronic tracking devices); and (c) with all personal property seized at the time of arrest in the same condition as it existed immediately prior to arrest. Within three (3) days after entry of this Order, Respondents shall file either: (a) a letter certifying Petitioner's release pursuant to this Order; or (b) a letter, not to exceed two pages, identifying (1) whether Petitioner has a criminal history, (2) whether Petitioner is subject to a final order of removal, and (3) the statutory authority under which Petitioner continues to be detained. Upon receipt of that letter, the Court will determine whether an expedited scheduling order or other proceedings are necessary. So Ordered by Judge Karen M. Williams on August 24, 2026.
