TEXT ORDER - The Court has reviewed the Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 filed by Petitioner Guilherme Silva Ricardo Pereira ("Petitioner"), who is currently detained at the Delaney Hall Detention Facility in Newark, New Jersey. (ECF No. 1.) According to the Petition, Petitioner is a native and citizen of Brazil who lawfully entered the United States on a B-2 visitor visa in or about December 2019 as a minor and has resided here since. Petitioner alleges that he resides in New Jersey with his family, has no criminal history, and suffers from diabetes and hypertension requiring regular medication, blood glucose monitoring, and adequate nutrition. Petitioner further alleges that, on or about July 12, 2026, ICE officers took him into custody during an enforcement operation and thereafter transferred him to the Delaney Hall Detention Facility. Petitioner further alleges that, since arriving at Delaney Hall, he has been denied adequate nutrition and appropriate medical care necessary to manage his diabetes, including regular meals, physician evaluation, and prescribed medication, resulting in elevated blood glucose levels. Petitioner also alleges that conditions at Delaney Hall include inadequate medical care, insufficient food, communication restrictions, prolonged lockdowns, and deteriorating living conditions. Petitioner contends that his continued detention violates the Due Process Clause. (Id.) Based on the allegations in the Petition, the Court preliminarily concludes that Petitioner may be unlawfully detained under 8 U.S.C. § 1225 because he was apprehended within the United States after residing here for an extended period and therefore may instead be subject to detention under 8 U.S.C. § 1226. See Ayala Amaya v. Bondi, No. 25-cv-16428, 2025 WL 3033880 (D.N.J. Oct. 30, 2025). Accordingly, if Respondents do not contend that Ayala Amaya is meaningfully distinguishable from the circumstances presented here, Respondents shall RELEASE Petitioner within twenty-four (24) hours under the same conditions, if any, that existed prior to his detention. If Respondents contend that Ayala Amaya is distinguishable, they shall file a response to the Petition by July 22, 2026, setting forth the basis for that position. It is further ORDERED that Respondents shall ensure that Petitioner is evaluated by a licensed physician or other qualified medical provider within twenty-four (24) hours of the entry of this Order for assessment and treatment of his diabetes. Respondents shall ensure that Petitioner is promptly provided with any medically necessary medications, treatment, monitoring, and an appropriate diabetic meal plan as determined by the evaluating medical provider. Within forty-eight (48) hours of the entry of this Order, Respondents shall file a certification of compliance, together with documentation sufficient to demonstrate compliance, including, as appropriate, medical records, treatment orders, medication administration records, and documentation reflecting the dietary accommodations provided to Petitioner. To the extent Petitioner seeks relief predicated upon conditions of confinement, those claims are not necessary to resolution of the habeas petition and are hereby STAYED pending further proceedings in Washington v. The GEO Group, No. 26-cv-6466 (JKS (LDW)). Petitioner may file a reply within three (3) business days after Respondents file their response. Petitioner shall not be removed from or transferred outside the District of New Jersey during the pendency of these proceedings. In light of the relief granted, Petitioner's Motion for Temporary Restraining Order (ECF No. 2) is DENIED. So Ordered by Judge Karen M. Williams on July 15, 2026. (Williams, Karen) (Entered: 07/15/2026)
