TEXT ORDER: The Court has reviewed the Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus filed by pro se Petitioner Elvin Campos Munoz ("Petitioner") (ECF No. 1), Respondents' Response to the Court's Order to Show Cause (ECF No. 7), and the supporting exhibit (ECF No. 7-1). Petitioner challenges his continued detention under the Fourth Amendment, Fifth Amendment, and Administrative Procedure Act and seeks immediate release. (ECF No. 1.) Respondents represent that Petitioner previously filed two habeas petitions in this District challenging his detention. See Campos Munoz v. Rokosky, Civil Action No. 25-18720 (denied Feb. 25, 2026); Campos Munoz v. Benzel, Civil Action No. 26-06653 (motion to enforce judgment denied Aug. 29, 2026). Respondents contend that the present Petition raises substantially the same claims presented in those prior proceedings. Respondents further represent that, on July 17, 2026, the Board of Immigration Appeals dismissed Petitioner's appeal, leaving him subject to a final order of removal. (ECF Nos. 7, 7-1.) Upon consideration of the present Petition, Respondents' submission, and the procedural history of Petitioner's prior proceedings, the Court finds no basis to grant the requested habeas relief. Petitioner's substantially similar challenges to his continued detention have previously been presented to and considered by this Court, and the present submission does not establish a sufficient basis to reach a different result. Accordingly, the Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (ECF No. 1) is DENIED. The Clerk of Court shall CLOSE this matter. So Ordered by Judge Karen M. Williams on 10/13/26. (nar, N.M.) (Entered: 10/13/2026)
