CASE NO. 4:25-cv-45-CDL-AGH
O R D E R
The 	Magistrate 	Judge 	has 	issued 	a 	Report 	and 	Recommendation
that 	finds 	that 	further 	detention 	of 	Petitioner 	violates 	his 	due
process rights under the Supreme Court’s rationale in Zadvydas v.
Davis. 	533 	U.S. 	678 	(2001). 	She 	therefore 	recommends 	that 	his
petition for habeas corpus be granted and that he be released from
detention 	(ECF 	No. 	17 	at 	5). 	Respondents 	filed 	no 	objection 	to
the Magistrate Judge’s recommendation. 	The Court interprets this
failure 	to 	object 	to 	constitute 	an 	admission 	by 	Respondents 	that
Petitioner 	should 	be 	released 	because 	Respondents 	cannot 	deport
him 	in 	the 	reasonably 	foreseeable 	future. 	Without 	prematurely
deciding whether to accept the Magistrate Judge’s recommendation,
the 	Court 	is 	perplexed 	by 	the 	lack 	of 	objection 	given 	that 	it
appears Respondents have taken some measures to remove Petitioner
to 	a 	third 	country 	and 	in 	light 	of 	Petitioner’s 	extensive 	and

dangerous 	criminal 	record 	that 	includes 	attempted 	murder,
obstruction 	of 	law 	enforcement, 	aggravated 	assault, 	aggravated
battery, first-degree arson, burglary, criminal trespass, criminal
interference 	with 	government 	property, 	and 	driving 	under 	the
influence.
If Respondents do in fact concede that the Court should accept
the 	Magistrate 	Judge’s 	recommendation 	that 	the 	Constitution
requires 	that 	Petitioner 	be 	released 	from 	detention, 	then 	so 	be
it. 	But 	to 	make 	sure 	that 	this 	matter 	did 	not 	fall 	through 	the
cracks, 	the 	Court 	extends 	the 	time 	within 	which 	Respondents 	may
file an objection so that any objection is due within 14 days from
today.
IT IS SO ORDERED, this 29th day of January, 2026.
