OPINION AND ORDER. Victor Adrian Hernandez Baez's Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (Doc. 1) remains under advisement. Within 30 days of this Order, ICE shall conduct a custody review to determine whether Hernandez Baez poses a danger to th e community sufficient to justify continued detention. Within seven days of the custody review, the respondents shall file a supplemental response, addressing the results of the review and any updates on removal efforts. Hernandez Baez may file a rep ly within three days of the supplemental response. Because ICE recently transferred Hernandez Baez to a different detention facility and does not forward legal mail to detainees after transferring them, the government must certify it has served Hernandez Baez this Order within three days. Signed by Judge Sheri Polster Chappell on 10/2/2026. (NMC)
