TEXT ORDER -: The Court has reviewed the Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 filed by Petitioner, Juan Chisaguano Chisaguano ("Petitioner"), who is detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE") at Delaney Hall Detention Facility in Newark, New Jersey. (ECF No. 1.) According to the Petition, Petitioner entered the United States without inspection in about May of 2021 and has resided within the United States since his initial entry. Petitioner alleges that he was arrested by ICE on or about October 4, 2026, and that he is mandatorily detained pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2)(A). Petitioner contends that his continued detention violates the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment, the Immigration and Nationality Act, and the Administrative Procedure 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 October 13, 2026. (Williams, Karen) (Entered: 10/13/2026)
