TEXT ORDER: Whether, after the Court of Appeals' decision in Khalil v. President, United States of America, 2026 WL 111933 (3d Cir. Jan. 15, 2026), the Court has habeas jurisdiction in a certain class of cases is an issue now being briefed in another case. See Aygun v. Soto, 2026 WL 136151, at *1 (D.N.J. Jan. 16, 2026). On or before January 26 at 11:59pm, the Respondents shall indicate whether its habeas jurisdiction arguments in Aygun v. Soto are different in any meaningful way from any habeas jurisdiction arguments that might be relevant in this case. The Petitioner shall file a letter brief on or before January 30 at noon indicating whether, after the Court of Appeals' Khalil decision, the Court has habeas jurisdiction in this case. So Ordered by Judge Michael E. Farbiarz on 1/22/26. (ro, ) (Entered: 01/22/2026)

TEXT ORDER: The Respondents shall file a letter brief on or before February 2 at 10:00am. It shall answer two questions in detail and with full reference to the governing caselaw. First, whether a federal court of appeals considering a petition for review after the Board of Immigration Appeals issues a final order of removal can consider whether the immigration courts should have treated the relevant petitioner under 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a) (as opposed to under 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2)) and therefore as eligible for a bail hearing. Second, and relatedly, whether any decision of the immigration courts to treat a petitioner under 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a) (as opposed to under 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2)) "is a 'matter[ ] on which the validity of the final order [of removal entered by the BIA] is contingent.'" Khalil v. President, United States, 2026 WL 111933, at *10 (3d Cir. Jan 15, 2026) (quoting Massieu v. Reno, 91 F.3d 416, 422 (3d Cir. 1996)). If yes, the Respondents shall explain why this is so. If no, the Respondents shall explain why this is not so --- and also what the implications of that are for whether 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(9) strips habeas jurisdiction from district courts asked to consider whether a detained noncitizen purportedly covered by 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2) should be treated as covered by 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a). (The briefing to this point from the Respondents has been glancing, and not commensurate with the "complex[ity]" of this issue, as they have described it. See Agyun v. Soto (2:25-cv-18540-MEF) at ECF 14. It is imperative that the letter brief due to be filed on Monday be a sustained treatment of the relevant legal issues.) The Petitioner is free to weigh in on the issues described here, by means of a letter brief to be filed on or before February 3 at 10:00am. So Ordered by Judge Michael E. Farbiarz on 1/29/2026.

After receipt of the status letter, the Court will address the amended petition. So Ordered by Judge Michael E. Farbiarz on 3/31/26. (ro, ) (Entered: 03/31/2026)

TEXT ORDER: A petition was filed, see ECF 12, a bail hearing was ordered, see ECF 27, and it was conducted. See ECF 28 . Therefore, it appears that the petition should be dismissed. See Chiquito Barzola v. Warden, No. 25-17326, slip op. at 2-3 (D.N.J. Dec. 1, 2025). If a party has a different view, it should explain why in a brief letter, to be filed on or before April 28 at 5:00pm. If no persuasive letter is received, the petition will be promptly dismissed.
