Minute Order by Judge Jinsook Ohta: Jorge Luengo Diaz filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus challenging his detention as unlawfully prolonged in violation of his due process rights. See Dkt. 1. After the entry of a final removal order, a noncitizen is subject to mandatory detention for 90 days, known as the "removal period." 8 U.S.C. § 1231(a)(1). The removal period begins on the latest of three dates: (i) when, as relevant here, the removal order becomes administratively final; (ii) if the removal order is judicially reviewed and a court issues a stay, the date of the court's final order; or (iii) if the noncitizen is detained or confined other than under immigration processes, the date they are released from such detention or confinement. See § 1231(a)(1)(B)(i)(iii).Here, the 90-day mandatory removal period began on June 21, 2026, when Petitioner's removal order became administratively final. See Dkt. 6 at 1; Dkt. 6-3 at 2. Accordingly, Petitioner is subject to mandatory detention until September 19, 2026. The Court therefore DENIES without prejudice the petition for writ of habeas corpus. [Dkt. 1] Petitioner may re-file his petition if his detention becomes prolonged beyond the end of the 90-day mandatory removal period on September 19, 2026.The August 27, 2026 hearing is vacated. The Clerk of the Court is directed to close the case. Signed by Judge Jinsook Ohta on 08/24/2026. (rh) (All non-registered users served via U.S. Mail Service)(gsw) (Entered: 08/24/2026)
