United States Ex Rel. Tsermegas v. Neelly, District Director of Immigration, 210 F.2d 876 (7th Cir. 1954)
US Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit - 210 F.2d 876 (7th Cir. 1954) March 15, 1954
Rehearing Denied March 30, 1954
The Supreme Court has determined that under § 20(a) of the Immigration Act, as amended by § 23 of the Internal Security Act,1 the Attorney General may in his discretion hold in custody, without bail, pending determination as to their deportability, aliens who are members of the Communist Party of the United States, when there is reasonable cause to believe that their release on bail would endanger the safety and welfare of the United States. Carlson v. Landon, 342 U.S. 524, 72 S. Ct. 525, 96 L. Ed. 547. Here, the government claims that petitioner's release would endanger the safety and welfare of the United States.
It is apparent on the face of petitioner's pleadings that he has not exhausted his administrative remedies. Until he has done so he is not entitled to resort to or to maintain habeas corpus proceedings. Highland Farms Dairy, Inc. v. Agnew, 300 U.S. 608, 616, 57 S. Ct. 549, 81 L.

District Director of Immigration and Naturalization, etc., D.C., 76 F. Supp. 737.
Now § 242(a), Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, 8 U.S.C.A. § 1252(a), which is implemented by Title 8, Code of Federal Regulations, Aliens and Nationality, § 242.2, as amended effective June 19, 1953, published 18 F.R. 3530, provides: "Detention or release of aliens from custody. District directors, deputy district directors, district enforcement officers, or officers in charge may exercise the authority contained in § 242 of the Immigration and Nationality Act to continue or detain aliens in, or release them from, custody."
