A.Z.C. v. Tony Normand, et al.

Summary

The United States District Court for the Middle District of Georgia ordered the respondents to file a limited response addressing the statutory basis for the petitioner’s immigration detention. The order concerns whether the petitioner is subject to mandatory detention under 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2) or discretionary detention under 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a), and permits the petitioner to reply.

Questions Presented

1. Whether petitioner is being detained under the mandatory-detention provision of 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2) or the discretionary-detention provision of 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a).
2. Whether the basis for petitioner's detention requires a response from respondents before the court can evaluate the § 2241 habeas application.
