Key legal question
May the detention court in deportation-detention review the legality or reasonableness of the underlying removal order?
Extracted holding
Only if the removal order is manifestly unlawful or obviously incorrect to the point of nullity; otherwise the merits of removal remain primarily for the competent asylum/removal authority.
Extracted reasoning
The detention judge must first verify that an enforceable removal order exists, but generally may not reassess its legality. Review in detention proceedings is exceptional and limited to glaring illegality or unreasonableness.
