TEXT ORDER - The Court has reviewed the Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241, filed by Petitioner, Angel Euclides Moreno Jumbo ("Petitioner"). (ECF No. 1.) According to the Petition, Petitioner is a citizen of Ecuador who entered the United States without inspection in December 2023. Petitioner alleges Respondents subsequently granted him humanitarian parole and released him from custody on December 16, 2023. Petitioner further alleges that on August 21, 2026, Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE") officers re-detained Petitioner, and he is currently detained at the Delaney Hall Detention Facility in Newark, New Jersey. Petitioner alleges that he has no criminal record, that Respondents have provided no individualized reason or explanation for his renewed detention, and that Respondents are denying him an opportunity for a custody redetermination. (Id.) If Respondents determine that Petitioner (1) does NOT have a criminal history, and (2) is NOT subject to a final order of removal, Respondents shall release Petitioner within twenty-four (24) hours of the entry of this Order (a) in the State of New Jersey, if Petitioner was initially arrested in New Jersey, or otherwise as close to the place of initial arrest as reasonably practicable; (b) without additional conditions (such as ankle monitors or other electronic tracking devices); and (c) with all personal property seized at the time of arrest in the same condition as it existed immediately prior to arrest. Within three (3) days after entry of this Order, Respondents shall file either: (a) a letter certifying Petitioner's release pursuant to this Order; or (b) a letter, not to exceed two pages, identifying (1) whether Petitioner has a criminal history, (2) whether Petitioner is subject to a final order of removal, and (3) the statutory authority under which Petitioner continues to be detained. Upon receipt of that letter, the Court will determine whether an expedited scheduling order or other proceedings are necessary. So Ordered by Judge Karen M. Williams on August 26, 2026.

TEXT ORDER - The Court having reviewed Respondents' August 31, 2026 letter concerning Petitioner's criminal history (ECF No. 5), and Petitioner's reply thereto (ECF No. 6) it appears that Respondents have identified only a 2025 violation of N.J.S.A. 16:87-2.2(A)1, which prohibits the failure or refusal to pay a prescribed fare. Petitioner was adjudicated liable for the violation and paid the assessed total in full. The matter was thereafter disposed. (Id.) That municipal violation is not, on the record presently before the Court, a conviction for a crime. See N.J.S.A. 2C:1-4(a)-(b)(1) (distinguishing crimes from petty offenses and providing that even disorderly persons and petty disorderly persons offenses are not crimes.) Thus, Respondents have identified no criminal conviction. Accordingly, the Court finds that Respondents have not identified a criminal history of the type contemplated by the Court's August 26, 2026 Text Order. (ECF No. 3.) Respondents further have not identified in their August 31, 2026 submission any final order of removal or other basis that would preclude Petitioner's release. Consistent with the Court's August 26, 2026 Text Order (ECF No. 3), Respondents shall therefore RELEASE Petitioner from immigration detention no later than 24 hours from entry of this Order, unless Respondents identify a lawful basis for continued detention supported by the applicable statutory authority. Respondents shall promptly file a notice confirming Petitioner's release. So Ordered by Judge Karen M. Williams on September 9,2026. (Williams, Karen) (Entered: 09/09/2026)
