TEXT ORDER: This matter is before the Court on Petitioner Abel Alves De Lana's Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2241, D.E. 1 ("Petition"). Petitioner is subject to a final order of removal and was most recently detained by immigration authorities on July 9, 2026. Id. 2, 15. Accordingly, his detention is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1231(a).Section 1231(a) requires detention during the statutory ninety-day removal period. 8 U.S.C. § 1231(a)(1)-(2). Detention beyond that period remains presumptively reasonable for six months. Zadvydas v. Davis, 533 U.S. 678, 701 (2001). To state a claim under Zadvydas, a petitioner must ordinarily show both that his post-removal-order detention has exceeded six months and that there is good reason to believe there is no significant likelihood of removal in the reasonably foreseeable future. Id.Petitioner cannot make that showing. He filed the Petition one day after his present detention began. Even crediting the approximately fifteen days that he was detained following the reinstatement of his removal order in November 2019, his cumulative post-removal-order detention remains well within the six-month period deemed presumptively reasonable under Zadvydas. Nor has Petitioner alleged facts demonstrating that his removal is unlikely in the reasonably foreseeable future. His pending efforts to obtain immigration relief do not, without more, invalidate or stay his final order of removal.Petitioner's remaining claims do not warrant habeas relief. The record reflects that immigration authorities issued an administrative warrant when Petitioner was taken into custody on July 9, 2026. And because Section 1231(a) authorizes his present detention, Petitioner is not entitled to a bond hearing merely because he previously complied with an order of supervision. Accordingly, the Petition, D.E. 1, is DENIED without prejudice to Petitioner filing a new habeas petition should his detention later become unreasonably prolonged or circumstances otherwise materially change. The Clerk of Court is directed to CLOSE this matter. So Ordered by Judge Evelyn Padin on 7/17/2026. (ps) (Entered: 07/17/2026)
