This case has been assigned to the undersigned for all purposes.
First, it is hereby ordered that all parties appear for a conference in Courtroom
6E North on February 24, 2026 at 1:00PM. 	Respondents shall coordinate with
Immigration and Customs Enforcement to ensure that Petitioner is produced to
the courthouse for the conference, and shall inform the Court’s deputy if any

indicating whether the conference is necessary. 	In the letter, Respondents should
address:

2
(1) Petitioner’s A-number, current place of detention, and a contact person who
can facilitate counsel’s access to Petitioner;
(2) the statutory provision(s) under which Respondents assert the authority to
detain Petitioner;
(3) whether there is any basis to distinguish the asserted grounds for detention in
this case from this Court’s decision in Hyppolite v. Noem, No. 25-CV-4304
(NRM), 2025 WL 2829511 (E.D.N.Y. Oct. 6, 2025), or from any other prior
decisions issued by the undersigned in this area of law. If there is no basis to
distinguish this Petition from the Court’s analysis in Hyppolite or another
decision of this Court, the submission may take the form of a letter so stating,
and indicating whether Respondents oppose issuance of the writ, subject to
preservation of Respondents’ arguments for appeal;
(4) a copy of any final order of removal for this Petitioner; and
(5) information regarding the procedural posture of any pending Department of
Homeland Security or Executive Office for Immigration Review proceedings
concerning this Petitioner.
If Respondents take the position that the outcome of this Petition is materially
distinguishable from a prior decision of this Court, Respondents are further ordered
to show cause in writing no later than February 20, 2026 at 2:00PM as to why the
Petition should not be granted. 	In their submission, Respondents shall affirm that
they have provided the Court with all facts material to Petitioner’s claims and

Respondents’ opposition to the Petition, and shall attach as exhibits all records
related to those facts. Petitioner may reply by February 22, 2026 at 5:00PM. The
Court will then hear argument on the Petition, if necessary, at the conference on
February 24, 2026 at 1:00PM in Courtroom 6E North.
SO ORDERED.
