Jurisdiction Focus

Massachusetts / First Circuit

Core Routing Fork

1225 vs 1226 vs 1231

Top Deadline Risk

PFR 30-day window

What To Confirm First

  1. Custody reality: state only, ICE detainer, or ICE physical custody.
  2. Order posture: whether a final removal order already exists.
  3. Detention statute: § 1225(b), § 1226(a), § 1226(c), or § 1231.
  4. Hard dates: PFR, reopening/reconsideration, hearing, and removal dates.

High-Risk Traps

  • PFR filing does not automatically stay removal.
  • Reopen/reconsider motions generally do not automatically stay removal.
  • Do not assume motion practice tolls PFR clock.
  • Transfer of ICE custody can shift venue dynamics quickly.

Three Distinct Legal Tracks

Track Main Forum Primary Goal Core Caveat
Criminal custody / bail Massachusetts criminal court Address pretrial detention exposure Does not control ICE detention authority
Immigration detention custody ICE / IJ / BIA / district habeas Seek release or legality review of detention Route depends on 1225/1226/1231 classification
Removal-order litigation Court of appeals + stay channels Prevent removal while review is pending Strict timing and no automatic stay
