TEXT ORDER: TEXT ORDER: The Court has reviewed the Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 filed by Petitioner Edgar Frisneda-Quintero, who is presently detained at Delaney Hall Detention Facility in Newark, New Jersey. (ECF No. 1 .) Petitioner alleges that he arrived in the United States in 2022 and timely filed an application for asylum with United States Citizenship and Immigration Services. Petitioner asserts that he was granted work authorization based upon his pending application for Adjustment of Status, and further, that he is a beneficiary of active Temporary Protected Status until October 2, 2026. On March 12, 2026, Petitioner was detained by ICE when appearing for an asylum interview in Newark, New Jersey. Petitioner argues that his continued detention violates the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment. (Id.) Accordingly, it is ORDERED that Respondents shall SHOW CAUSE, on or before April 14, 2026, why the Petition should not be granted. Petitioner may file a reply within three (3) business days after Respondents file their response. Petitioner shall serve a copy of this Order and the Petition upon Respondents within two (2) business days of the entry of this Order and shall promptly file proof of service on the docket. Petitioner shall not be removed from New Jersey during the pendency of these proceedings. So Ordered by Judge Jamel K. Semper on 4/7/2026. (sms) (Entered: 04/07/2026)

TEXT ORDER: This matter comes before the Court on Petitioner's Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (ECF No. 1) Respondents' Answer in opposition (ECF No. 7), Petitioner's Reply (ECF No. 8), and Petitioner's Status Report (ECF No. 9). Petitioner challenges his detention by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement under 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(1). The record reflects that Petitioner was placed in expedited removal proceedings, received a negative credible fear determination affirmed by an Immigration Judge, and is therefore subject to mandatory detention pending removal under § 1225(b)(1)(B)(iii)(IV). Petitioner has not demonstrated that Temporary Protected Status alters this conclusion, and the Court accepts Respondents' representation that Petitioner did not maintain active TPS at the time of his March 2026 arrest. Petitioner's prior parole and asserted due process arguments do not alter the statutory detention framework governing expedited removal proceedings. Accordingly, Petitioner has not established a basis for habeas relief, and it is ORDERED that the Petition (ECF No. 1) is DENIED. Petitioner's Motion for an Order to Show Cause is DENIED as moot. The Clerk is directed to CLOSE this case. So Ordered by Judge Jamel K. Semper on 6/15/2026. (sms) (Entered: 06/15/2026)
