ORDER GRANTING PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION For the foregoing reasons, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Petitioner's Motion for a Preliminary Injunction (ECF No. 2 ) is GRANTED. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Respondents must provide Petitioner with a bon d hearing pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a) no later than February 2, 2026. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Respondents are ENJOINED from denying Petitioner's release on bond on the basis that he is subject to mandatory detention pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2)(A). Thus, in the event that bond is granted, the Court ENJOINS Respondents from invoking the automatic stay to continue Petitioner's detention, as the Court has already found that the automatic stay is unconstitutiona l. The Court incorporates that finding by reference here. See Herrera v. Knight, No. 2:25-cv-01366-RFB-DJA, 2025 WL 2581792, at *13 (D. Nev. Sep. 5, 2025). If bond is granted, Respondents are ORDERED to immediately release Petitioner. The Court h as received notice of the hardship other petitioners have incurred in their efforts to satisfy bond, and, therefore, the Court FURTHER ORDERS that Petitioner be afforded until March 14, 2026, to satisfy any monetary bond conditions. IT IS FURTHE R ORDERED that if the individualized bond hearing is not conducted by February 2, 2026, Petitioner shall be immediately released unless, and until, it is determined that his detention is warranted under 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a). IT IS FURTHER ORDE RED the Parties shall file a joint status report by February 3, 2026. The status report shall detail when the bond hearing occurred, if bond was granted or denied, and, if denied, the reasons for that denial. If the bond hearing does not occur by February 2, 2026, the status report shall confirm Petitioner's release from detention in compliance with this Order. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that on or before February 11, 2026, the Parties shall file a stipulated proposed scheduling order for full briefing on the merits of the petition for a writ of habeas corpus (ECF No. 1 ). Signed by Judge Richard F. Boulware, II on 1/28/2026. (Copies have been distributed pursuant to the NEF - RJDG)
