TEXT ORDER: Before the Court is Petitioner's Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus wherein he asks that this Court order "Respondents to immediately release Petitioner from custody." ECF No. 1. The Respondents, while conceding that Petitioner has been detained under 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a), detail in their Response that the Petitioner is not, and was never, detained at Wyatt and was en route to Plymouth County Correctional Facility when he filed the pending Petition. ECF No. 4. As the Supreme Court explained, "[t]he plain language of the habeas statute [] confirms the general rule that for core habeas petitions challenging present physical confinement, jurisdiction lies in only one district: the district of confinement." Rumsfeld v. Padilla, 542 U.S. 426, 443 (2004). Because Petitioner has not been held at Wyatt Detention Center and is at the Plymouth Facility, this Court does not have jurisdiction to adjudicate the pending Petition. Accordingly, this Petition will be transferred to the District of Massachusetts. So Ordered by District Judge Melissa R. DuBose on 10/30/2026. (Simoncelli, Michael)
