Decision and Order  The petitioner, Dujon Manley, is an immigration detainee currently held at the Buffalo Federal Detention Facility.

Docket Item 17. On March 30 and 31, 2018, the government responded. Docket Items 18, 19, 20. Manley replied on April 6, 2018, Docket Items 21, 22, and this Court heard oral argument on April 20, 2018.BACKGROUNDThe Court assumes the parties’ familiarity with the facts in the record, but a brief summary will provide some context.
