FOR THE MIDDLE DISTRICT OF GEORGIA VALDOSTA DIVISION

A.Z.C. : : Petitioner, : : v. : Case No. 7:25-cv-181-LAG-ALS :

TONY NORMAND, et al., : : Respondents. : _________________________________

ORDER FOR RESPONSE Pending before the Court is Petitioner’s application for habeas corpus relief under

. (Doc. 1).1 Having reviewed the habeas application, it is not clear to the Court the basis for Petitioner’s detention. Specifically, Petitioner alleges that he is an arriving alien who was granted parole under Immigration and Nationalization Act § 212(d)(5), but that Respondents have mandatorily detained him under

(b)(2), rather than discretionary detention under

(a). It is, thus, not clear to the Court whether this case involves the same issues raised in J.A.M. v. Streeval, No. 4:25- CV-342-CDL,

(M.D. Ga. Nov. 1, 2025) and P.R.S. v. Streeval, No. 4:25-cv-330- CDL,

(M.D. Ga. Nov. 24, 2025), concerning whether the petitioner is properly detained under

(b)(2) or

(a). In light of those decisions, Respondents are directed to file a limited response within seven (7) days addressing specifically the basis for Petitioner’s detention. Petitioner may file a reply within three (3) days of Respondents’ response to this Order. SO ORDERED, this 4th day of December, 2025. s/ ALFREDA L. SHEPPARD UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
