TEXT ORDER - The Court has reviewed the Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241, filed by Petitioner, Anastacio Tochihuitl Luna ("Petitioner"). According to the Petition, Petitioner is a native and citizen of Mexico, who is detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE"). (ECF No. 1.) Petitioner alleges that he has resided in the United States since approximately April 1999, and that ICE arrested him on August 26, 2026. He alleges that he has no criminal record and is not presently subject to a final order of removal. Petitioner further alleges that, following his arrest, he has not received an individualized custody determination. He also alleges that he sustained a knee injury in connection with his detention and continues to experience problems related to that injury. (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 and (4) the status of Petitioner's reported knee injury, including any medical evaluation or treatment provided to Petitioner in connection with that injury. 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 September 1, 2026.
