ORDER OF DISMISSAL - Tue petitioner entered the United States from Mexico in or around November 2000. He has never been legally admitted to the United States. He was taken into ICE custody on October 3, 2026. The petition raises a single claim fo r relief: That the petitioner's continued detention without an individualized determination that he is a danger or a flight risk violates his Fifth Amendment right to due process of law. Because the Fifth Circuit has determined that immigrants like the petitioner are subject to mandatory detention without an individualized hearing, the face of the petition shows that the petitioner is not entitled to relief. Accordingly, it is ORDERED that the 1 petition is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE. (Signed by Judge Sim Lake) Parties notified. (sra4)
