TEXT ORDER: This matter comes before the Court on Petitioner's habeas petition filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (ECF No. 1 ) and Respondents' expedited response, which contends that the statutory authority for Petitioner's detention is 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2) and that Petitioner has a pending charge for simple assault. (ECF Nos. 5, [5-1].) Petitioner's counsel has provided evidence that the charge was downgraded to a noise ordinance violation and has also notified the Court that Petitioner was moved out of this District in violation of this Court's Order, which stayed his transfer. (ECF Nos. 6, [6-1], 7 .) Respondents shall file a supplemental response within 3 days. In that response, Respondents shall SHOW CAUSE why this Court should not order them to return Petitioner to New Jersey and grant habeas relief pursuant to Buele Morocho v. Warden Philadelphia FDC, --- F.4th ---, ---, 2026 WL 2546223 (3d Cir. Aug. 28, 2026). If necessary, Petitioner may file a reply to the supplemental response within 3 days. So Ordered by Judge Robert Kirsch on 9/11/2026. (ijf) (Entered: 09/11/2026)
