12 Petitioner, ORDER GRANTING IN PART 13 v. PETITION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS 14 JEREMY CASEY, Warden at Imperial

Regional Detention Center, Imperial, 15 (ECF No. 1) California, et al., 16 Respondents. 17 18 Presently before the Court is Petitioner Adriana Gonzalez Salazar’s Petition for Writ 19 of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (“Pet.,” ECF No. 1). Also before the Court 20 is Respondents Jeremy Casey’s (Warden at Imperial Regional Detention Center, Imperial, 21 California); Joseph Freden’s (Field Office Director of San Diego Office of Detention and 22 Removal, U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement); Todd Lyons’s (Acting Director, 23 U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement); Kristi Noem’s (Secretary, U.S. Department 24 of Homeland Security); and Pamela Bondi’s (U.S. Attorney General) (collectively, 25 “Respondents”) Return to Habeas Petition (“Ret.,” ECF No. 5) and Petitioner’s Traverse 26 (“Traverse,” ECF No. 7). For the reasons set forth below, the Court GRANTS IN PART 27 Petitioner’s Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus. 28 / / / 1 BACKGROUND 2 Petitioner is a nineteen-year-old citizen and national of Venezuela. Pet. ¶ 19. 3 Petitioner holds and has expressed political opinions against the Maduro regime and fled 4 Venezuela when she and her family “received in person death threats against them by 5 members of the ‘colectivos.’” Id. ¶ 21. On July 16, 2024, Petitioner and members of her 6 family arrived at the San Ysidro Port of Entry and were inspected in an appointment made 7 through the CBPOne Application.1 Id. ¶ 22. Petitioner was deemed inadmissible under 8 8 U.S.C. § 1182(a)(7)(A)(i)(I),2 placed in removal proceedings under 8 U.S.C. § 1229(a) 9 (240 proceedings), and issued a Notice to Appear (NTA). Ret. at 2. Petitioner and her 10 family members were then released from Department of Homeland Security (DHS) 11 custody on humanitarian parole pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1182(d)(5)(A) and issued a Form I- 12 94, which was valid for two years. Pet. ¶ 22; Ret. at 2. 13 On April 11, 2025, Petitioner’s family member received a “mass form email” from 14 DHS stating that the Petitioner and her family’s parole would be terminated within seven 15 days. Pet. ¶ 23. This email provided no reason for the termination and instructed them to 16 “depart the U.S. ‘immediately.’” Id. Petitioner attended her only court hearing on 17 September 29, 2025. Id. ¶ 24. On October 16, 2025, responding to a “call-in letter” from 18 ICE directing her to come to the downtown San Diego ICE office, Petitioner was arrested 19 and served with a Form I-200, Warrant for Arrest of Alien to be remanded back into 20 custody. Id.; Ret. at 3. Petitioner is currently detained pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2) 21 at the Imperial Regional Detention Facility in Imperial County, California. Ret. at 3. 22 Petitioner attended her scheduled court hearing, complied with all terms of her 23 parole, and has no criminal history. Pet. ¶ 24. Petitioner alleges that there is no indication 24 25 26 1 The Government contends that Petitioner was paroled via the CHNV parole program which was terminated on March 25, 2025. Ret. at 2–3. However, Form I-213 provided by Respondents states, 27 “Subject claimed asylum and was processed under CBP One Processing.” Ret. Ex-1 at 3. 28 2 8 U.S.C. § 1182(a)(7)(A)(i)(I) designates as inadmissible entrants who are not in possession of a valid 1 that she is a danger to the community or a flight risk. Id. ¶ 25. Petitioner challenges the 2 revocation of her parole without first being provided a due process hearing and her 3 continued detention. Id. ¶¶ 4–5. 4 On October 20, 2025, Petitioner filed her Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus arguing 5 her summary revocation of parole fails to follow the procedural requirements of 8 C.F.R. 6 § 212.5(e)(2)(i), the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment, and the Administrative 7 Procedure Act (APA). See generally Pet. Specifically, Petitioner requests the Court (1) 8 assume jurisdiction over this matter; (2) declare that Petitioner’s detention violates the Due 9 Process Clause; (3) declare that Petitioner’s parole was not lawfully terminated, her parole 10 remains active, and she is unlawfully detained; (4) grant the instant petition and release 11 Petitioner; (5) alternatively, grant an individualized bond hearing; (6) issue an order 12 prohibiting Respondents from transferring Petitioner from the district without the Court’s 13 approval; and (7) award Petitioner attorney’s fees and costs under the Equal Access to 14 Justice Act and on any other basis justified under law. Id. 15 LEGAL STANDARD 16 A federal prisoner challenging the execution of his or her sentence, rather than the 17 legality of the sentence itself, may file a petition for writ of habeas corpus in the district of 18 his confinement pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. See 28 U.S.C. § 2241(a). The sole judicial 19 body able to review challenges to final orders of deportation, exclusion, or removal is the 20 court of appeals. See generally 8 U.S.C. § 1252; see also Alvarez–Barajas v. Gonzales, 21 418 F.3d 1050, 1052 (9th Cir. 2005) (citing REAL ID Act, Pub. L. No. 109-13, 119 Stat. 22 231, § 106(a)). However, for claims challenging ancillary or collateral issues arising 23 independently from the removal process—for example, a claim of indefinite detention— 24 federal habeas corpus jurisdiction remains in the district court. Nadarajah v. Gonzales, 25 443 F.3d 1069, 1076 (9th Cir. 2006), abrogated on other grounds by Jennings v. Rodriguez, 26 583 U.S. 281 (2018); Alvarez v. Sessions, 338 F. Supp. 3d 1042, 1048–49 (N.D. Cal. 2018) 27 (citations omitted). 28 / / / 1 DISCUSSION 2 Respondents first argue that this Court lacks jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1225(g) 3 and § 1225 (b)(9). Ret. at 3–6. Respondents then argue, if the Court finds jurisdiction, that 4 Petitioner’s claims fail on the merits because Petitioner is subject to mandatory detention 5 under 8 U.S.C. § 1225. Id. at 6–9. Petitioner argues that her summary revocation of parole 6 and continued detention violates Due Process and the APA. Pet. at ¶ 3. 7 I. Jurisdiction 8 Section 1252(g) provides that “no court shall have jurisdiction to hear any cause or 9 claim by or on behalf of any alien arising from the decision or action by the Attorney 10 General to commence proceedings, adjudicate cases, or execute removal orders against any 11 alien under this chapter.” 8 U.S.C.
