TEXT ORDER: This matter is before the Court on Petitioner's September 17, 2026 letter (Letter). (ECF No. 10 .) In this Letter, Petitioner notes that, on September 1, 2026, the Court entered a Text Order (ECF No. 9 ) ordering Respondents to answer the petition (Petition) for a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2241, (ECF No. 1 ), and Petitioner's August 29, 2026 letter disputing Respondents' assertion that he is subject to mandatory detention under 8 U.S.C. § 1226(c), (ECF No. 8 ), within fourteen (14) days, or by September 15, 2026, but Respondents have failed to file an answer, (ECF No. 10 at 1). According to Petitioner, the Court must deem Respondents' failure to answer a concession of their inability to substantiate their assertion that Petitioner is properly detained under § 1226(c). (Id.) Petitioner asks the Court to order his immediate release and grant all other relief requested in the Petition because of Respondents' repeated failure to substantiate Petitioner's mandatory detention (first under 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b) and now under § 1226(c)). (Id.) Within seven (7) days of the date of the entry of this Text Order, Respondents shall file a response to Petitioner's Letter. So Ordered by Judge Georgette Castner on 9/30/2026. (jmh) (Entered: 09/30/2026)

TEXT ORDER: This matter comes before the Court upon receipt of Respondents' October 7, 2026 letter (Letter). (ECF No. 12 .) In this Letter, Respondents argue that this Court lacks jurisdiction to review U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) detention of Petitioner under 8 U.S.C. § 1226(c), (id. at 1-2), that Petitioner is properly detained under 8 U.S.C. § 1226(c) for a crime involving moral turpitude, (id. at 2-5), and asks the Court to deny the Petition. As Respondent has not previously raised this jurisdictional argument, Petitioner may file a reply to the Letter within seven (7) days of entry of this Text Order. So Ordered by Judge Georgette Castner on 10/8/2026. (jmh) (Entered: 10/08/2026)
