** TEXT ONLY ORDER ** Petitioner Vaibav Sharma is a citizen of India. He is currently detained in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody pending removal proceedings. Sharma seeks a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2241, contending that his detention without a valid warrant violates federal immigration law and the guarantee of substantive and procedural due process under the Fifth Amendment. He seeks immediate release from custody. Sharma's petition does not fully explain the legal basis for the requested relief, nor does it fully develop the relevant facts. The court will give Sharma until November 5 to submit a brief in support of his petition along with evidentiary support for the relevant facts. Sharma should also submit a summons, which the clerk of court will issue upon receipt. Sharma should then promptly serve respondents with the petition and this order. The government will have fourteen days after Sharma files his supporting brief to respond to the petition. Sharma will have seven days to reply. Signed by District Judge James D. Peterson on 10/28/2026. (jef),(ps) (Entered: 10/28/2026)
