TEXT ORDER: This matter comes before the Court upon Respondents' correspondence dated September 14, 2026. (ECF No. 4 .) Respondents report that Petitioner was transferred from the Delaney Hall Detention Facility in New Jersey to River Correctional Facility in Louisiana on September 11, 2026. (Id.) The Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus was filed on September 10, 2026. (ECF No. 1 .) The Court subsequently entered a Text Order on September 11, 2026, enjoining Respondents from transferring Petitioner from New Jersey pending further Order of the Court. (ECF No. 2.) In light of Respondents' representation that Petitioner was transferred to Louisiana on September 11, 2026, the Court requires clarification regarding the timing of the transfer in relation to the filing and pendency of the Petition. Accordingly, within three (3) days of the entry of this Text Order, Respondents shall e-file supplemental correspondence providing: (1) the date and time Respondents first received notice of the Petition; and (2) the date and time Petitioner was transferred from the Delaney Hall Detention Facility in New Jersey to River Correctional Facility in Louisiana. Respondents shall also address whether Petitioner may be returned to New Jersey pending further Order of the Court. The Court defers consideration of Respondents' request to dismiss or administratively terminate this action based upon their asserted lack of next-friend standing pending resolution of the foregoing matter. So Ordered by Judge Michael A. Shipp on 9/15/2026. (jab) (Entered: 09/15/2026)

TEXT ORDER: This matter comes before the Court upon a Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 ("Petition"). (ECF No. 1 .) The Court has reviewed the Petition (ECF No. 1 ), Respondents' Response (ECF No. 4 ), and Respondents' September 18, 2026 correspondence (ECF No. 7 ) regarding the location of Petitioner's detention. According to Respondents' correspondence (ECF No. 7 ), Respondents received the Petition electronically on September 10, 2026, at approximately 12:46 P.M., and Petitioner was booked out of Delaney Hall at approximately 9:00 P.M. that same day. In light of this chronology and the Court's September 11, 2026, Text Order enjoining Respondents from transferring Petitioner from New Jersey pending further Order of the Court (ECF No. 2), as well as the Court's September 15, 2026, Text Order (ECF No. 5), the Court finds that Petitioner should be returned to New Jersey so as to restore the status quo ante pending further proceedings in this matter. Accordingly, it is ORDERED that Respondents shall return Petitioner to New Jersey within 72 hours of this Order. Respondents shall e-file correspondence with the Court on or before September 25, 2026, confirming Petitioner's return to New Jersey. Respondents also raise an objection concerning the filing of the Petition by Petitioner's wife as his purported "next friend." Because the Petition is a pro se submission, the Court liberally construes it and will not elevate its form over its substance. See Erickson v. Pardus, 551 U.S. 89, 94 (2007). Accordingly, it is ORDERED that within 7 days of this Order, Petitioner shall file an amended petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241, personally signed and verified by him pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2242. The filing shall supersede ECF No. 1 . The Court notes that Petitioner is detained pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a). To the extent Petitioner challenges the lawfulness of his continued detention under § 1226(a), a noncitizen detained pursuant to that provision may request a bond hearing before an Immigration Judge pursuant to 8 C.F.R. §§ 236.1(d)(1) and 1236.1(d)(1). See Jennings v. Rodriguez, 583 U.S. 281, 306 (2018). The record presently before the Court indicates that Petitioner has not received an individualized bond hearing. Thus, upon Petitioner's return to New Jersey, Petitioner may request a bond hearing before an Immigration Judge in accordance with the applicable regulations. Within 48 hours of such a bond hearing, Respondents shall e-file correspondence to inform the Court of the outcome of the bond hearing. So Ordered by Judge Michael A. Shipp on 9/22/2026. (jab,N.M.)

TEXT ORDER: This matter comes before the Court upon (1) Respondents' September 25, 2026, correspondence requesting an extension of the deadline to return Petitioner to New Jersey (ECF No. 9 ), and (2) the September 29, 2026, correspondence from Rosa Ludizaca, Petitioner's wife, regarding the deadline for Petitioner to file an amended petition (ECF No. 10 ). The Court's September 22, 2026, Text Order directed Respondents to return Petitioner to New Jersey within 72 hours and directed Petitioner to file an amended § 2241 petition, personally signed and verified by him pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2242, within seven days. (ECF No. 8 .) Respondents represent that ICE could not arrange a flight returning Petitioner by the September 25, 2026, deadline, and that the earliest available flight was September 27, 2026. (ECF No. 9 .) Petitioner has since been returned to Delaney Hall, and no objection to Respondents' request has been received. For good cause shown, Respondents' request is GRANTED nunc pro tunc. The deadline for Petitioner's return to New Jersey is extended to September 27, 2026, effective as of September 25, 2026. The Court construes Ms. Ludizaca's correspondence as notice of the circumstances affecting Petitioner's ability to comply with ECF No. 8, and not as a motion filed on his behalf. The record, including Respondents' own submissions (ECF Nos. 7, 9 ), confirms that Petitioner was transferred to Louisiana and returned to New Jersey only after the deadline was well underway. The Court therefore finds good cause to extend the deadline on its own authority. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(b)(1). Accordingly, it is ORDERED that Petitioner shall file the amended petition, personally signed and verified by him, on or before Monday, October 5, 2026. The filing shall supersede ECF No. 1 . The Court considers Ms. Ludizaca's correspondence in light of Petitioner's pro se status and the circumstances of his transfer. Ms. Ludizaca is advised, however, that as a non-attorney she may not represent Petitioner or file motions or requests on his behalf. See 28 U.S.C. § 1654. Future requests for relief must be signed by Petitioner personally. Nothing in this Order prevents Petitioner from submitting his own signed filings. Petitioner may include any motion for appointment of pro bono counsel with his amended petition. Failure to timely file the amended petition may result in dismissal of this action. Respondents shall respond to the amended petition as directed by further Order and shall continue to e-file correspondence within 48 hours of any bond hearing, as directed in ECF No. 8 . So Ordered by Judge Michael A. Shipp on 10/1/2026. (jab,N.M.) (Entered: 10/01/2026)
