TEXT ORDER -The Court has reviewed the Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 filed by Petitioner, Juan Francisco Ramos Garcia ("Petitioner") who is detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE") at Delaney Hall Detention Facility in Newark, New Jersey. (ECF No. 1.) According to the Petition, Petitioner has continuously resided in the United States for approximately 32 years and has no criminal history. Petitioner further alleges that on September 24, 2026, he was taken into immigration custody, and contends that his continued detention violates the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment. (Id.) Pursuant to the Third Circuit's decision in Buele Morocho v. Warden Philadelphia FDC, No. 26-1150, 2026 WL 2546223 (3d Cir. Aug. 28, 2026), § 1225(b)(2)(A) does not authorize Petitioner's mandatory detention. Accordingly, it is ORDERED that unless Respondents identify: (a) an independent and presently applicable statutory basis for Petitioner's detention that is not inconsistent with this Order, or (b) any criminal history associated with Petitioner, Respondents shall RELEASE Petitioner from immigration custody no later than 24 hours after entry of this Order. Within three (3) days after entry of this Order, Respondents shall file either: (a) a letter certifying Petitioner's release pursuant to this Order; or (b) a letter, not to exceed two pages, identifying the statutory provision under which Petitioner is detained, the factual basis for its application, and Petitioner's criminal history, if any is alleged. Petitioner may reply within three (3) business days thereafter. So Ordered by Judge Karen M. Williams on September 27, 2026. (Williams, Karen) (Entered: 09/27/2026)
