TEXT ORDER - : The Court has reviewed the Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241, filed by Petitioner, Itza Pamela Bueno-Flores ("Petitioner"). (ECF No. 1.) According to the Petition, Petitioner is a native and citizen of Honduras who entered the United States without inspection in June 2014 and has resided here since. Petitioner alleges she was arrested by ICE on August 25, 2026, while appearing for an affirmative asylum interview and is presently detained at the Elizabeth Detention Center. Petitioner further alleges she has no prior removal order. Petitioner further alleges she has three children, two of whom are U.S. citizens. Although Petitioner concedes to being involved in a domestic-violence incident, the present record lacks information regarding the underlying circumstances and final disposition of that matter. (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 27, 2026.
