Very bad draw for Mr. Mahdawi at the 2nd Circuit. Decision by Judge Livingston (Bush) and joined by Nardini (Trump) and Menashi (Trump) finds no jurisdiction. Except this to be taken en banc, especially as a motions panel of the 2nd Circuit previously ruled that the court DID have jurisdiction.
This case comes before us on appeal of a release order that the district court
issued after Mahdawi, a lawful permanent resident then in immigration custody,
filed a habeas petition. Detained and placed into removal proceedings by the
United States Government (“the Government”), Mahdawi challenged the basis for
his removal. On the day of his arrest, he filed a habeas petition requesting that
the district court, among other actions, invalidate a determination by Secretary of
State Marco Rubio (the “Rubio Determination”) that Mahdawi threatens American
foreign policy (and thus is removable under the INA), bar the Government from
targeting aliens for removal based on their “protected speech advocating for
Palestinian rights,” and order his release. Joint App’x at 18. The district court
granted his motion for release pending review of this habeas petition on the basis
that Mahdawi would likely succeed in showing that the Government unlawfully
targeted him based on First Amendment protected activity. We conclude that the
district court should not have reached this question because it did not have subject matter jurisdiction over the habeas petition. 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(9). We therefore
VACATE the district court’s order and REMAND with instructions for the district
court to dismiss the petition for lack of jurisdiction.
