Jul 31, 2026

TEXT ORDER: The Court has reviewed the Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 filed by Petitioner, Jose Herber Rauda Figueroa ("Petitioner"), proceeding pro se, who is presently detained at Delaney Hall Detention Facility in Newark, New Jersey. (ECF No. 1.) According to the petition, Petitioner entered the United States on or about September 11, 2024 with a visitor's visa, and has remained here since that time. Petitioner alleges that he was taken into immigration custody on July 16, 2026, following an affirmative asylum interview. Petitioner further alleges that ICE officers explained that Petitioner's visitor's visa had expired and transported him to Delaney Hall Detention Facility where he remains detained. Petitioner contends that his continued detention without a bond hearing violates the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment. (Id.) Accordingly, it is ORDERED that Respondents shall SHOW CAUSE, within seven (7) days of the date of this Order, why the Petition should not be granted. Petitioner may file a reply within three (3) business days after Respondents file their response. Petitioner shall serve a copy of the Petition and this Order upon Respondents within two (2) business days of the entry of this Order and shall promptly file proof of service on the docket. Petitioner shall not be removed from the District of New Jersey during the pendency of these proceedings. So Ordered by Judge Jamel K. Semper on 7/31/2026. (ps) (Entered: 07/31/2026)

TEXT ORDER: The Court has reviewed Petitioner's Letter (ECF No. 7). Respondents contend that Petitioner is detained pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a) and maintain that Petitioner is entitled to an individualized custody redetermination hearing. The present record further reflects, however, that Petitioner has not requested the bond hearing that he is entitled to. (Id.) Accordingly, it is ORDERED that, within seven (7) days of the entry of this Order, Respondents shall provide Petitioner with an individualized custody redetermination hearing before an Immigration Judge pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a). Within three (3) days of the date of this Order, Respondents shall file a status letter advising the Court of their compliance with this Order and attaching any custody determination entered by the Immigration Judge. So Ordered by Judge Jamel K. Semper on 9/4/2026. (sms) (Entered: 09/04/2026)
