TEXT ORDER: This matter comes before the Court upon Petitioner Juan Esteban Torres Alvarez's petition for writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (ECF No. 1, Petition) alleging he is unlawfully detained by immigration authorities. It is Ordered that 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 twentyfour (24) hours of the entry ofthis Order, and file a written confirmation of Petitioner's release within three (3) days. If Petitioner has a criminal history or a final order of removal, Respondents shall file an answer to the petition within 48 hours, and Petitioner may file a reply 48 hours thereafter. The Court has enjoined Petitioner transfer outside New Jersey (ECF No. 5, Order) and ordered expedited resolution of the Petition. Therefore, the Clerk shall administratively terminate Petitioner's emergency motion for release (ECF No. 2) and emergency motion for a temporary restraining order (ECF No. 3.) The Court reserves Petitioner's motion for appointment of pro bono counsel.. So Ordered by Judge Katharine S. Hayden on 8/25/26. (cm, ) (Entered: 08/25/2026)
