TEXT ORDER - The Court has reviewed the Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 filed by Petitioner, Nestor Jaime Segovia Yuquilima ("Petitioner"), who is detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE") at Elizabeth Detention Center in Elizabeth, New Jersey. (ECF No. 1.) According to the Petition, Petitioner entered the United States without inspection, admission or parole in approximately 2007. (ECF No. 1.) Petitioner further alleges that he was detained by ICE on September 20, 2026, and that he has no final order of removal or criminal record. Petitioner contends that his continued detention violates the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment and the Immigration and Nationality Act. (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 unless Respondents identify: (a) 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. So Ordered by Judge Karen M. Williams on September 23, 2026. (Williams, Karen) (Entered: 09/23/2026)

TEXT ORDER: The Court has reviewed the Petition (ECF No. 1), the Response (ECF No. 5), and Respondents' letter (ECF No. 6). According to the Respondents, Petitioner was detained pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a), and was released from custody on September 30, 2026 upon posting bond. (ECF Nos. 5, 6.) To the extent Petitioner challenges the lawfulness of his detention under 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a), the Court notes that a noncitizen detained pursuant to § 1226(a) may request a bond hearing before an Immigration Judge pursuant to 8 C.F.R. §§ 236.1(d)(1) and 1236.1(d)(1). See Jennings v. Rodriguez, 583 U.S. 281, 306 (2018). The record indicates that Petitioner requested and received a bond hearing before an Immigration Judge. (See ECF Nos. 5, 6.) Accordingly, the Petition (ECF No. 1) is DISMISSED AS MOOT, and the Clerk of Court is directed to CLOSE this case. So Ordered by Judge Karen M. Williams on 10/15/26. (nar) (Entered: 10/15/2026)
