ORDER GRANTING PETITION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS -- For the foregoing reasons, the Court GRANTS the Petition for Habeas Corpus (ECF No. 1) and DENIES the two motions to expedite (ECF Nos. 13 and 15). Under the circumstances of this case, the C ourt concludes that habeas relief is proper and Zadvydas requires Petitioners release from the unlawful detention. Fees under the Equal Access to Justice Act, 28 U.S.C. § 2412 are not available in habeas corpus proceedings like this one. The Court treats the instant action solely as a habeas action under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 and declines to consider any claim other than the alleged Zadvydas violation. IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that on or before November 7, 2026, Respondents shall RELEASE Petitioner Junior Yohar Argueta Vasquez from custody to a public location, under conditions no more restrictive than those in place before the detention at issue.. Signed by Judge Jason K. Pulliam. (cih)
