TEXT ORDER This matter comes before the Court upon Petitioner's petition for writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. 2241 challenging his immigration detention as unlawful, Dkt. No. 1 ("Petition"), Respondents' response, Dkt. No. 4 ("Response"), Petitioner's reply, Dkt. No. 5 ("Reply"), and Respondents' opposition, Dkt. No. 8 ("Opp'n"). Petitioner alleges that on November 27, 2023, the Department of Homeland Security ("DHS") issued Petitioner a Notice to Appear, charging him with inadmissibility under the Immigration and Nationality Act Sections 212(a)(6)(A)(i) and (a)(7)(A)(i) and initiating removal proceedings. Petition at 5. Petitioner was arrested by ICE Officers on September 21, 2026. Id. The Court ordered a response to the Petition. Dkt. No. 2 ("Order"). Respondents submitted an "Order of the Immigration Judge" dated September 23, 2026, stating that Petitioner withdrew his request for a custody redetermination pursuant to 8 C.F.R. 1236. Dkt. No. 4-1 ("IJ Order"). Petitioner replied that the Court had ordered his release from detention if: (1) he is not subject to a final order of removal; (2) he was most recently apprehended in the interior of the United States, rather than at the border or port of entry; (3) Respondents had not issued a Notice of Custody Determination by the time the Petition was filed; and (4) Petitioner has no criminal history. Petitioner asserted that he met these requirements. Dkt. No. 5 ("Reply"). The Court ordered Respondents to submit a response to Petitioner's Reply, Dkt. No. 6 ("Order"), and Respondents submitted a Notice of Custody Determination signed by Petitioner on September 21, 2026, before the Petition was filed on September 22, 2026. Dkt. No. 8-1 ("Form I-286"). Petitioner withdrew his custody redetermination request without prejudice on September 23, 2026. IJ Order. Petitioner may reschedule his bond hearing pursuant to 8 C.F.R. 1236. The Court holds that Petitioner is lawfully detained under 8 U.S.C. 1226(a), and the Petition, Dkt. No. 1, is DENIED. The Clerk shall CLOSE this matter. So Ordered by Chief Judge Renee Marie Bumb on 11/06/2026. (Costigan, Roberta) (Entered: 11/06/2026)
