BROPHY, Field Office Director for Detention and Removal, Buffalo Field Office, Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement; Department of Homeland Security; and JOE KOSON, Facility Director, Buffalo Federal Detention Facility, Respondents. I. Background Proceeding pro se, Xing Jian Yu (“Yu” or “Petitioner”) has filed a petition (Docket No. 1) for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 and has paid the $5.00 filing fee. Yu, a native and citizen of China, was ordered removed from the United States to China on March 21, 2017, by a Immigration Judge. Pending his removal, Yu has been detained at the Buffalo Federal Detention Facility.

In lieu of an answer, Respondents may file a motion to dismiss the petition with appropriate exhibits demonstrating that an answer to the petition is unnecessary.
