TEXT ORDER - The Court has reviewed the Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 filed by pro se Petitioner Jhon Kevin Muneton Jiminez ("Petitioner"), who is detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE"). (ECF No. 1.) Petitioner alleges that he entered the United States with a visa in May 2023, has remained in the United States since that time, and was apprehended in the interior of the United States on September 1, 2026. Petitioner further alleges that he has no criminal history. (Id.) Pursuant to the Third Circuit's decision in Buele Morocho v. Warden Philadelphia FDC, No. 26-1150, 2026 WL 2546223 (3d Cir. Aug. 28, 2026), § 1225(b)(2)(A) does not authorize Petitioner's mandatory detention. Accordingly, it is ORDERED that (a) unless Respondents identify an independent and presently applicable statutory basis for Petitioner's detention that is not inconsistent with this Order, or (b) any criminal history associated with Petitioner, Respondents shall RELEASE Petitioner from immigration custody no later than 24 hours after entry of this Order. 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 the statutory provision under which Petitioner is detained, the factual basis for its application, and Petitioner's criminal history, if any is alleged. Petitioner may reply within three (3) business days thereafter. The Court further notes that Petitioner has neither paid the $5 filing fee required by 28 U.S.C. § 1914(a) nor submitted an application to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a). It is therefore ORDERED that, within 14 days of this Order, Petitioner shall either pay the $5 filing fee or submit an IFP application. The Clerk shall mail Petitioner a copy of this Order and an IFP application via regular mail. So Ordered by Judge Karen M. Williams on September 8, 2026. (Williams, Karen) (Entered: 09/08/2026)
