Court S.D. Tex.
Decided September 26, 2025
Docket H-25-3364
Citation 2025 WL 2774610
Judge David Hittner, United States District Judge
Disposition Relief granted
Nationality Mexico

ICE re-detained the petitioner without a shown lawful revocation, notice of reasons, or the required informal interview, and his removal is not reasonably foreseeable; release was ordered with notice required once a third country is identified.

Caution The third-country notice claim was held premature even as summary judgment on it was denied, and no fixed notice period was set; final judgment was to be entered separately and is not in the file; the government produced no copy of any order revoking supervision; the court noted a split on whether the six-month period resets on re-detention.
