MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

KEVIN McNULTY, District Judge.

Petitioner, Pedro J. Mancebo Perez, is an immigration detainee currently detained at the Essex County Correctional Facility in Newark, New Jersey. He is proceeding pro se with a petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to § 2241.

Mr. Perez challenges his current immigration detention in his federal habeas petition. "Federal courts have habeas jurisdiction to examine the statutory and constitutional bases for an immigration detention unrelated to a final order of removal." Ufele v. Holder, 473 F. App'x 144, 146 (3d Cir. 2012) (citing Demore v. Kim, 538 U.S. 510, 517-18 (2003)); see also Diop v. ICE/HomelandSec, 656 F.3d 221, 226 (3d Cir. 2011). In accordance with Rule 4 of the Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases, applicable to § 2241 cases through Rule 1(b) of the Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases, this Court has screened the habeas petition for dismissal and determined that dismissal without an answer and the record on this issue is not warranted. In addition to any arguments that respondent may make in the answer, respondent shall specifically address what impact, if any, Chavez-Alvarez v. Warden York Cnty. Prison, 783 F.3d 469 (3d Cir. 2015), has on the habeas petition. Respondent shall also specifically address whether petitioner's period of immigration detention should include the period from November 13, 2013 until May 27, 2014 as stated in the habeas petition as well as the period from June 25, 2015 to the present.
