Key legal question
Whether an existing removal order could be secured by detention despite alleged asylum and non-refoulement obstacles.
Extracted holding
The prior removal order was not obviously invalid for detention purposes; the detention judge was not to review the merits of asylum-related obstacles in this proceeding.
Extracted reasoning
The detention court only verifies the existence of a removal order. Questions about legality or refoulement must be addressed in the proper asylum or migration proceedings unless the order is manifestly void, which was not the case here.
