Judge Allison D. Burroughs: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered. Respondents have provided notice of intent to transfer Petitioner to a facility in New Hampshire where there is adequate long-term housing for women detainees. [ECF No. 7 at 2]. Petitioner’s counsel does not assent to transfer. See [id. at 1]. Rather, Petitioner has filed an emergency motion for immediate release, [ECF No. 9 ], premised on a series of purported defects in Respondents’ authority to detain petitioner—namely, that “Respondents arrested Ms. Soares without [a] warrant... ; failed to provide the mandatory post-arrest examination, advisals, and 48-hour custody determination their own regulations require; and have detained her under [8 U.S.C.] § 1226(a) without any individualized exercise of discretion.” [ECF No. 9 at 9]. It appears, however, that Respondents’ earlier notice includes much of the material that Petitioner contends is missing. See [ECF No. 7-1 to -4]. Further, Respondents do not contest Petitioner’s eligibility to seek a bond hearing in immigration court but note that “Petitioner has not filed a motion for a bond hearing at this time.” [ECF No. 7 at 2 n.1]. Petitioner’s motion, however, seeks a bond hearing as alternative relief. [ECF No. 9 at 4]. Since Respondents do not contest Petitioner’s eligibility for a bond hearing, they are ORDERED to provide her with a bond hearing within seven days of this order. Because Respondents’ earlier filing appears to undermine Petitioner’s argument for release, Petitioner’s emergency motion is otherwise DENIED.In the meantime, the Court’s habeas jurisdiction does not extend to location-of-confinement challenges, see González-Fuentes v. Molina, 607 F.3d 864, 873 (1st Cir. 2010), and its order prohibiting transfer without notice, [ECF No. 3 ], was entered “to provide an opportunity for a fair and orderly consideration of this matter and resolve any contested issues about jurisdiction,” [id. at 3]. Because Respondents consent to the Court’s ongoing jurisdiction over the petition, [ECF No. 7 at 2], the Court hereby gives Respondents leave to transfer Petitioner to the Strafford County Department of Corrections effective immediately.(CAM) (Entered: 09/11/2026)
