Petitioner is in immigration detention and has filed a pro se Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2241. He asserts that the government has detained him past the statutorily reasonable period defined in Zadvydas v. Davis, 533 U.S. 678 (2001), and that it cannot remove him to Russia in the reasonably foreseeable future. He argues the government has violated his due process rights by not giving him an individualized bond hearing, an explanation for his continued detention, or a timeline for his removal. He alleges his detention has caused severe hardship because he is his family’s sole financial provider.

Plaintiff is a state prisoner pursuing a medical deliberate indifference claim under the Eighth Amendment against a medical provider at a previous facility. Plaintiff suffers from serious gastroenterological issues and constipation. According to Plaintiff, he apprised Defendant of his severe pain and constipation during a doctor’s appointment, at which time Defendant refused to treat his constipation for non-medical reasons and referred him for a diagnostic screening. Plaintiff’s pain and constipation had been previously documented by healthcare staff. Plaintiff avers that he suffered physical and mental pain as a result of Defendant’s refusal to treat his gastrointestinal needs. Defendant claims that she did not act with the requisite subjective knowledge; that, in any event, she acted reasonably in spite of that knowledge; and that Plaintiff has not established injuries. The case has survived summary judgment and will proceed to trial.
