Emergent Immigration Habeas Non-transfer Order

Oct 21, 2026

TEXT ORDER - This matter comes before the Court upon a Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 ("Petition"). (ECF No. 1.) According to the Petition, Luis Alberto Corado Serrano ("Petitioner") was detained by United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement on October 6, 2026, and thereafter transferred to Delaney Hall Detention Facility where he remains detained pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a) without access to a bond hearing. The Petition further alleges that Petitioner's detention was initiated without notice or a hearing in violation of the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment, and the Immigration and Nationality Act. (Id.) The Court notes that Petition was filed by a proposed next friend, Nondra Gomez. Under Whitmore v. Arkansas, 495 U.S. 149, 163-64 (1990), a proposed next friend must establish why the real party in interest cannot pursue the action personally and demonstrate a genuine commitment to the real party's best interests. The Petition does not adequately address why Petitioner cannot proceed on his own behalf. Given the emergent nature of this immigration matter, the Court will permit preliminary consideration of the Petition while directing the proposed next friend to submit, within seven (7) days of the date of this Order, a declaration addressing the requirements for next-friend standing. Accordingly, it is ORDERED that Respondents shall SHOW CAUSE, within seven (7) days of the date of this Order, why the Petition should not be granted. Petitioner may file a reply within three (3) business days after Respondents file their response. Petitioner shall not be transferred from New Jersey during the pendency of these proceedings. So Ordered by Judge Karen M. Williams on October 21, 2026. (Williams, Karen) (Entered: 10/21/2026)
