TEXT ORDER: The Court has reviewed the Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus filed by Petitioner Dina Noemi Fuentez-Padilla (ECF No. 1) and Respondents' October 15, 2026 Response (ECF No. 4). Respondents represent that Petitioner, a native and citizen of Honduras, is detained pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1231(a) following an administratively final order of removal. Specifically, an immigration judge ordered Petitioner removed on October 17, 2019, and the Board of Immigration Appeals dismissed Petitioner's appeal. (ECF No. 4, Exs. 2-3.) Respondents further represent that ICE took Petitioner into custody on October 5, 2026. (ECF No. 4.) Under § 1231(a)(1), the Government generally must remove an individual within the 90-day statutory removal period following the date the removal order becomes administratively final. Detention during that period is generally mandatory. 8 U.S.C. § 1231(a)(2). Although § 1231(a)(6) permits continued detention beyond the removal period in certain circumstances, such detention may not be indefinite. Zadvydas v. Davis, 533 U.S. 678, 699 (2001). The Supreme Court has recognized six months as the presumptively reasonable period of post-removal-order detention. Id. at 701. Here, Respondents represent that Petitioner has been detained pursuant to the final order of removal for approximately ten days. (ECF No. 4.) That period falls well short of the six-month presumptively reasonable period recognized in Zadvydas. On the present record, Petitioner has not established that the duration of her detention violates § 1231 or the constitutional limitation recognized in Zadvydas. Accordingly, the Petition is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE to Petitioner's ability to challenge the lawfulness of her continued detention should materially different circumstances arise. The Clerk of Court shall CLOSE this matter. So Ordered by Judge Jamel K. Semper on 10/21/2026. (sms) (Entered: 10/21/2026)
