TEXT ORDER: The Petitioner shall not be removed from New Jersey or the United States. This is an administrative stay, the purpose of which is to briefly freeze the status quo and preserve the Court's jurisdiction should it exist. See Zheng v. Bondi, 2025 WL 280542, at *1 (D.N.J. Sept. 26, 2025). A declaration from the United States Attorney's Office shall be filed on the schedule set out below. It shall indicate that the United States Attorney's Office has (i) received this Order and conveyed it to the appropriate personnel at ICE; and (ii) provided ICE with written legal advice on the subject of ICE's obligation to comply with this Order. A declaration from ICE shall also be filed. It shall indicate that ICE has (i) received this Order; and (ii) received written legal advice from the United States Attorney's Office on the subject of ICE's obligation to comply with this Order. Each declaration shall be filed on the public docket of the Court on or before 6:30pm on July 29. The first declaration must be executed by either the United States Attorney for the District of New Jersey or Chief of the Civil Division for this District. The second declaration must be executed by either the Newark ICE Field Office Director or by the Newark ICE Field Office Deputy Director. The declarations may be signed by hand or electronically. The United States Attorney's Office shall immediately file a letter on the Court's public docket if an Order of the Court is violated in connection with this case. In addition, the Respondents shall file a letter explaining the factual and legal basis for the Petitioner's detention. That letter shall be filed or before July 31 at noon.

TEXT ORDER: It does not appear that the Petitioner was detained within this District when the petition was filed. See Respondents' July 29, 2026 Letter (ECF 6) at 1; Respondents' July 31, 2026 Letter (ECF 8) at 2. So the Court may not have jurisdiction. See Khalil v. Joyce, 777 F. Supp. 3d 369, 393-96 (D.N.J. 2025). In light of the above, the Court is inclined to transfer this case to the Eastern District of New York. See 28 U.S.C. § 1631 (empowering district courts to transfer civil cases to courts in which they could have been filed to address jurisdictional defects). Any party objecting to this proposed course of action shall file a short letter brief on or before August 4 at 5:00pm. So Ordered by Judge Michael E. Farbiarz on 8/3/26. (ro, ) (Entered: 08/03/2026)
