Aug 18, 2026Taylor, TX
The petitioner is currently held at the T. Don Hutto Detention Center and filed a federal habeas corpus petition challenging his ongoing detention without an individualized determination of whether that detention is necessary. His case implicates a broader legal dispute over whether certain applicants for admission may only be mandatorily detained for 90 days under 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2)(A) without a bond hearing. The court found that, on the face of the petition, he may be entitled to relief and ordered the government to show cause in writing by August 25, 2026, as to why the writ should not be granted. The petitioner may file a reply by August 28, 2026, and either party may request a hearing. The court also ordered that he not be removed from the United States or transferred outside the Austin Division pending further order, preserving its ability to hear the case.
