TEXT ORDER - The Court has reviewed the Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 ("Petition") of Petitioner, Mardoqueo Par Par ("Petitioner"), proceeding pro se. (ECF No. 1.) According to the Petition, Petitioner is a native and citizen of Guatemala who entered the United States on February 25, 2018 and has resided in New Jersey since that time. Petitioner alleges he was arrested by ICE on October 2, 2026, in West New York, New Jersey. Petitioner alleges that he has since been detained at Delaney Hall Detention Facility, and that a preliminary hearing is scheduled for October 14, 2026. Petitioner contends that his continued detention violates the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment. (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 15, 2026. (Williams, Karen) (Entered: 10/15/2026)

TEXT ORDER - The Court has reviewed Respondents' letter requesting dismissal or transfer of this action for lack of jurisdiction. (ECF No. 7.) Respondents represent that Petitioner was transferred from the Delaney Hall Detention Facility in Newark, New Jersey, to the Diamondback Correctional Facility in Watonga, Oklahoma, on October 11, 2026, before the Petition was filed with this Court on October 13, 2026. Respondents further represent that the Petition was mailed by a third party from Florida and therefore does not qualify for the prison mailbox rule. Accordingly, because Petitioner was confined in Oklahoma when the Petition was filed, this Court lacks jurisdiction over the Petition. See Rumsfeld v. Padilla, 542 U.S. 426, 442-47 (2004). In the interest of justice, the Court finds that transfer, rather than dismissal, is appropriate pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1631. Accordingly, this action is hereby TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma, the district in which Petitioner is presently confined. The Court's October 13, 2026 Text Order (ECF No. 3) and October 15, 2026 Text Order (ECF No. 4) are hereby VACATED. The Clerk of Court shall transfer this action to the United States District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma and CLOSE the case in this District. So Ordered by Judge Karen M. Williams on October 23, 2026. (Williams, Karen) (Entered: 10/23/2026)
