4 Petitioner v. ORDER

6 Respondents

8 Josue Orozco-Becerra, who is in immigration detention at Nevada Southern Detention 9 Center, submitted a pro se 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition for writ of habeas corpus and has now paid 10 the filing fee. ECF Nos. 1-1, 6. Per this court’s order, he has filed an amended petition. ECF No. 11 5. I have conducted a preliminary review of the petition, and it is dismissed for failure to state a 12 claim for which habeas relief may be granted. 13 In his amended petition Orozco-Becerra alleges that he was “human trafficked by federal 14 agents as part of a parallel construction investigation in an attempt to disappear the evidence of 15 their corruption” (ground 1) and that his “knowledge of the current administration’s corruption 16 and involvement with organized crime made [him] a target for persecution and detention” 17 (ground 2). ECF No. 5 at 6. Ground 3 reads: “in every state of these oppressions we have 18 petitioned for redress in the most humble terms: our repeated petitions have been answered only 19 by repeated injury.” Id. He also writes about how to survive slavery. Id. at 8-9. I can discern no 20 claims for which this court may grant federal habeas relief. See, e.g., REAL ID Act, 8 U.S.C. § 21 1252; Flores-Torres v. Mukasey, 548 F.3d 708, 710-11 (9th Cir. 2008); Iasu v. Smith, 511 F.3d 22 881 (9th Cir. 2007) (a federal district court does not have jurisdiction over a habeas petition 23 seeking to challenge a removal order); see also Casas–Castrillon v. Department of Homeland Sec., 535 F.3d 942, 951 (9th Cir. 2008); Singh v. Holder, 638 F.3d 1196, 1200–03 (9th Cir. 2011) 1}| (federal district courts have jurisdiction under § 2241 to review bond hearing determinations for constitutional claims and legal error). I therefore dismiss this petition for failure to state a claim 3}| for which federal habeas relief under § 2241 may be granted. 4 I THEREFORE ORDER that the amended petition is DISMISSED. 5 The Clerk of Court is directed to enter judgment accordingly and close this case. 6 7 DATED this 7" day of October, 2025. 8 oe 7 ANDREW P.
