Judge Brian E. Murphy: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered DENYING 1 petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Petitioner’s requested relief is a prohibition from being transferred out of this District. This Court lacks jurisdiction to entertain Petitioner’s request because petitions under section 2241 are limited to challenges to unlawful detention. See Fischer v. Napier, 2023 WL 8190787, at *2 (D. Mass. Nov. 27, 2023); see also Brouillard v. Lyons, 2026 WL 497009, at *3 (D. Mass. Feb. 23, 2026) (“As stated, Petitioner does not challenge the lawfulness of her custody. She is seeking injunctive and declaratory relief to prevent her transfer outside of New England.”); Benito Vasquez v. Moniz, 788 F. Supp. 3d 177, 182 (D. Mass. 2025) (“[T]o the extent petitioner seeks to enjoin ICE from removing him from Massachusetts indefinitely,... such [a] request[] [is] beyond the extent of habeas relief. Writs of habeas corpus can be used only to request release from custody.”). Accordingly, the petitioner, is DENIED without prejudice, and this action is DISMISSED. (MBM) (Entered: 07/29/2026)
