TEXT ORDER: The Court has reviewed the Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (ECF No. 1) and Respondents' Letter (ECF No. 4.) Respondents represent that Petitioner is subject to a reinstated final order of removal and is detained pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1231(a). Respondents further represent that Petitioner has been detained for approximately 130 days. (Id.) Petitioner has not filed a reply. Because Petitioner's detention has not exceeded the six-month period presumptively reasonable under Zadvydas v. Davis, 533 U.S. 678, 701 (2001), his challenge to the duration of his detention is premature. Accordingly, the Petition (ECF No. 1) is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE to Petitioner filing a new petition should his detention subsequently become prolonged and unconstitutional under the principles set forth in Zadvydas. The Clerk of Court shall mark this matter CLOSED. So Ordered by Judge Jamel K. Semper on 9/1/2026. (sms) (Entered: 09/01/2026)
