TEXT ORDER - The Court has reviewed the Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 filed by Petitioner Amner Maycon Cabrera Velasquez ("Petitioner"), who is detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE"). (ECF No. 1.) Petitioner alleges that he entered the United States without inspection in 2022, has remained in the United States since that time, and was apprehended in the interior of the United States on September 3, 2026. Petitioner further alleges that he has no criminal record or final order of removal. Petitioner contends that he is detained without a bond hearing in violation of the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment, the Immigration and Nationality Act, and the Administrative Procedures Act. (Id.) Pursuant to the Third Circuit's decision in Buele Morocho v. Warden Philadelphia FDC, No. 26-1150, 2026 WL 2546223 (3d Cir.

TEXT ORDER This matter comes before the Court upon a Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 ("Petition"). (ECF No. 1.) The Court has reviewed the Petition (ECF No. 1), Petitioner's Letter (ECF No. 4) and the Response (ECF No. 7). According to the Response, Petitioner is detained pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a) and has been afforded a bond hearing at which an immigration judge determined that Petitioner is eligible for release upon posting a $7,500 bond. Because Petitioner has received the bond hearing to which he is entitled under the asserted statutory basis for his detention, no further relief is warranted at this time. See Jennings v. Rodriguez, 583 U.S. 281, 303 (2018). Accordingly, the Petition is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. The Clerk is directed to CLOSE this case. So Ordered by Judge Karen M. Williams on 9/16/26. (nar) (Entered: 09/16/2026)
