Judge Brian E. Murphy: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered. Respondents state that “ICE... has been informed... that a travel document for Petitioner will be available for pickup on January 30, 2026” and that, “[o]nce the travel document is collected... ICE is prepared to schedule Petitioner’s removal... as soon as practicable.” Dkt. 14 para. 2. Under these circumstances, the Court finds that removal is reasonably likely to be imminent, such to justify detention under 8 U.S.C. s. 1231(a). Accordingly, the Court will deny the Petition on January 29, 2026, absent a compelling counterargument by Petitioner. (CAM) (Entered: 01/26/2026)
