TEXT ORDER: The Petitioner shall not be removed from New Jersey or the United States. This is an administrative stay, the purpose of which is to briefly freeze the status quo and preserve the Court's jurisdiction should it exist. See Zheng v. Bondi, 2025 WL 280542, at *1 (D.N.J. Sept. 26, 2025). A declaration from the United States Attorney's Office shall be filed on the schedule set out below. It shall indicate that the United States Attorney's Office has (i) received this Order and conveyed it to the appropriate personnel at ICE; and (ii) provided ICE with written legal advice on the subject of ICE's obligation to comply with this Order. A declaration from ICE shall also be filed. It shall indicate that ICE has (i) received this Order; and (ii) received written legal advice from the United States Attorney's Office on the subject of ICE's obligation to comply with this Order. Each declaration shall be filed on the public docket of the Court on or before 5:00pm on September 1. The first declaration must be executed by either the United States Attorney for the District of New Jersey or Chief of the Civil Division for this District. The second declaration must be executed by either the Newark ICE Field Office Director or by the Newark ICE Field Office Deputy Director. The declarations may be signed by hand or electronically. The United States Attorney's Office shall immediately file a letter on the Court's public docket if an Order of the Court is violated in connection with this case. In addition, the Respondents shall file a letter (i) explaining the factual and legal basis for the Petitioner's detention and (ii) responding to the Petition. That letter shall be filed on or before September 3 at noon. If the stated basis for detention is Section 1231(a)(6), the Respondents shall then state with precision when the asserted removal order became administratively final. If the Petitioner was detained more than 90 days after the order assertedly became final, the Respondents shall explain in the letter how, if at all, this case is distinguishable from De Aguiar v. Rokosky, 2026 WL 1123571 (D.N.J. Apr. 17, 2026).. So Ordered by Judge Michael E. Farbiarz on 9/1/26. (ro, ) (Entered: 09/01/2026)
