ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE by District Judge Margaret I. Strickland: The Court ORDERS Petitioner to show cause why his Petition should not be summarily dismissed without prejudice because it does not state a claim under which habeas relief can be granted. Petitioner alleges he was detained on or about June 1, 2026. An Order of Removal was entered on August 25, 2008, and Petitioner did not appeal that Order, making it administratively final. See 8 U.S.C. § 1241.1(a). Where, as here, the petitioner is subject to a final order of removal, detention is governed by Zadvydas v. Davis, 533 U.S. 678, 682 (2001) and 8 U.S.C. § 1231. The Supreme Court determined that a six-month detention period is presumptively reasonable. Zadvydas, 533 U.S. at 701. Because Petitioner is subject to a final removal order and has not yet been detained for six months, it appears that he is lawfully detained. Accordingly, Petitioner shall have 21 days from the date of this Order to SHOW CAUSE why the Petition should not be dismissed without prejudice. Petitioner is reminded that this Court cannot allow noncitizens to permanently remain in the United States or make any determination as to immigration status. Pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252, known as the "zipper clause," Federal District Courts lack jurisdiction over claims challenging removal orders. Jennings v. Rodriguez, 583 U.S. 281, 316-17 (2018).
