TEXT ORDER - Petitioner has allegedly resided in the United States for over 25 years and was detained by ICE on July 16, 2026, and placed in removal proceedings. (ECF No. 1, Petition at 23-29.) The Petition vaguely alludes to "a prior domestic matter involving Mr. Sumba and his longtime partner." (Id. at 28.) The Court declines to order pre-answer relief and will require an expedited answer. Within 3 days, Respondents shall file an expedited answer addressing the statutory basis for Petitioner's detention and provide all reasonably obtainable information about Petitioner's criminal and/or domestic violence history. The answer shall also provide copies of Petitioner's medical records under seal and address whether Petitioner has received his dentures and is being treated for diabetes at Elizabeth Detention Center. If necessary, Petitioner's counsel may file a reply brief within 3 days of the answer and may supplement the evidence regarding Petitioner's criminal history and/or medical conditions. The stay of transfer entered at ECF No. 3 shall remain in effect until this matter concludes, and the Motion for a TRO at ECF No. 2, which seeks Petitioner's release, is denied due to insufficient evidence regarding Petitioner's criminal history. So Ordered by Judge Madeline Cox Arleo on 7/30/2026. (aa, ) (Entered: 07/30/2026)
