Recent Federal Habeas Victories

Kerben Law Firm has litigated federal habeas corpus petitions in multiple federal courts across the country, including courts in Arizona, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, New Mexico, and California.

In these cases, federal judges have ordered:
● Immediate release from ICE detention ● Court‑ordered bond hearings ● Judicial review of unlawful arrests ● Relief from prolonged immigration detention
Granted: Immediate Release

Segundo E. v. Lowe

Middle District of Pennsylvania (M.D. Pa.)

Presiding: Presiding: Judge Keli M. Neary

The Court granted the habeas petition and ordered the petitioner’s immediate release, ruling that detention under 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2) was unlawful because he was arrested in the interior and had not been given an individualized bond hearing under § 1226(a). The Court also barred ICE from re-detaining him.

GRANTED: IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Hayden G. v. Lyons

Eastern District of New York (E.D.N.Y.)

Presiding: Presiding: Judge Sanket J. Bulsara

The Court granted the habeas petition and ordered the petitioner’s immediate release, holding that ICE lacked authority to arrest him because it issued a warrant before serving a Notice to Appear (NTA), and further finding that ICE violated due process by failing to make an individualized custody determination prior to or contemporaneous with his arrest.

GRANTED: IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Karla P. v. Lyons

District of New Jersey (D.N.J.)

Presiding: Presiding: Judge Christine P. O’Hearn

The Court granted the habeas petition and ordered the petitioner’s immediate release, ruling that detention under 8 U.S.C. § 1225 was unlawful because she was apprehended in the interior and should have been processed under § 1226 with an opportunity for a bond hearing. The Court also barred ICE from re-detaining her under § 1225 and limited any future detention.

Granted: Immediate Release

Dennnis M. v. Lyons

Eastern District of New York (E.D.N.Y.)

Presiding: Presiding: Judge Nusrat J. Choudhury

The Court granted the habeas petition and ordered the petitioner’s immediate release, ruling that ICE violated court orders by transferring him out of the district and requiring his return before release. The Court also barred ICE from relying on § 1225 to deny bond absent changed circumstances.

GRANTED: IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Moises T v. Noem

Western District of New York (W.D.N.Y.)

Presiding: Presiding: Judge Andrew W. Moeller

The Court granted the habeas petition and ordered the petitioner’s immediate release following a decision on the merits, concluding that relief was warranted after the issues were heard by the Court.

GRANTED: IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ERIKA R. v. Almodova

Eastern District of New York (E.D.N.Y.)

Presiding: Presiding: Judge Nusrat J. Choudhury

The Court granted the habeas petition and ordered the petitioner’s release, ruling that she could not be detained under § 1225 without a change in circumstances. The Court also barred ICE from denying bond on that basis in future proceedings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since 1966, when designers at Letraset and James Mosley, the librarian at St Bride Printing Library, took a 1914 Cicero translation and scrambled it to make dummy text for Letraset’s Body Type sheets. It has survived not only many decades, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised thanks to these sheets and more recently with desktop publishing software including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
