TEXT ORDER: The Court has reviewed the Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241, filed by Petitioner, Ristjan Talv ("Petitioner"), who is currently detained at Delaney Hall Detention Facility. (ECF No. 1). According to the Petition, Petitioner is a native of Estonia who entered the United States under the Visitor Visa Program, and thereafter filed an asylum application with United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, which remains pending. Petitioner alleges that he has no criminal history. Petitioner further alleges that on or about July 24, 2026, he was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement and remains detained without a bond hearing in violation of the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment, the Immigration and Nationality Act, and 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a). (Id.)If Respondents determine that Petitioner (1) does NOT have a criminal history, and (2) is NOT subject to a final order of removal, Respondents shall release Petitioner within twenty-four (24) hours of the entry of this Order (a) in the State of New Jersey, if Petitioner was initially arrested in New Jersey, or otherwise as close to the place of initial arrest as reasonably practicable; (b) without additional conditions (such as ankle monitors or other electronic tracking devices); and (c) with all personal property seized at the time of arrest in the same condition as it existed immediately prior to arrest. Within three (3) days after entry of this Order, Respondents shall file either: (a) a letter certifying Petitioner's release pursuant to this Order; or (b) a letter, not to exceed two pages, identifying (1) whether Petitioner has a criminal history, (2) whether Petitioner is subject to a final order of removal, and (3) the statutory authority under which Petitioner continues to be detained. Upon receipt of that letter, the Court will determine whether an expedited scheduling order or other proceedings are necessary. Signed by Judge Karen M. Williams on August 17, 2026. So Ordered by Judge Karen M. Williams on 8/17/2026. (jml, ) (Entered: 08/17/2026)
