Immigration Detainee Seeks to Block Transfer from Texas Facility

Jul 17, 2026 · Cameron County, Texas

Mohammad Hassani is detained by United States immigration enforcement officials at the Port Isabel Service Processing Center in Cameron County, Texas. Hassani filed a habeas corpus petition seeking a temporary restraining order to prevent respondents from transferring him outside the court's jurisdiction while his case is pending. The court denied his motion, finding he failed to demonstrate substantial irreparable harm, since his counsel is located in New York City and cannot communicate with him in person regardless of his detention location.
