MINUTE ORDER (Text Only Entry) issued by Courtroom Deputy for Magistrate Judge Sean C. Riordan on 6/2/2026: On May 12, 2026, an Immigration Judge ordered Petitioner removed. ECF No. 10 -2. The removal order will become final on June 11, 2026 if Petitioner does not file an appeal with the Board of Immigration Appeals. Should the order becomes final, Petitioner's detention would be governed by 8 USC § 1231, rather than by 8 USC § 1225 or 1226. This shift in detention authority would impact the Court's analysis of the petition. Petitioner is directed to submit a notice within 3 days informing the Court whether he has filed or intends to file an appeal of the removal order. (Deputy Clerk SH) (Entered: 06/02/2026)
