Pejman Mojtaba Behzad was arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement at the San Jose Field Office on June 12, 2026. He filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus and motion for a temporary restraining order challenging his continued detention at a facility in the Eastern District of California. The Northern District of California court transferred the case to the Eastern District of California, finding it lacked jurisdiction because the petitioner was being held in custody outside its territorial bounds.
