TEXT ORDER: Petitioner Adan Virgen Ramirez is a citizen of Mexico who has been in the United States for twenty years. (ECF No. 1, Petition at 1.) He alleges that he was arrested on July 25, 2026, and unlawfully detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE") without a bond hearing. (Id. at 4-15.) Respondents shall electronically file a full and complete answer to the Petition, which responds to all factual and legal allegations of the Petition, and identifies the statutory basis for Petitioner's detention, within seven (7) days. Petitioner filed an emergency motion for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction, ECF No. 2 ("TRO Motion") seeking to enjoin his transfer outside New Jersey while this proceeding is pending and for an expedited resolution of this matter. The Text Order at ECF No. 3, which temporarily enjoins Respondents from transferring Petitioner from this District, shall REMAIN IN EFFECT while this matter is pending. Having enjoined Petitioner's transfer and ordered an expedited resolution of the Petition, the Motion for TRO, ECF No. 2, is DISMISSED as moot. So Ordered by Judge Katharine S. Hayden on 7/30/26.
