ORDER WITHDRAWING the Reference of this Matter to the Magistrate Judge; GRANTING 1 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus, signed by District Judge Jennifer L. Thurston on 3/17/2026. Because the government has no evidence that Petitioner poses a risk of flight or poses a danger to the community, Petitioner SHALL be released IMMEDIATELY from DHS custody. DHS SHALL NOT impose any additional restrictions on him, such as electronic monitoring, unless that is determined to be ne cessary at a later custody hearing. Respondents are PERMANENTLY ENJOINED AND RESTRAINED from rearresting or re-detaining Petitioner absent compliance with constitutional protections, which include, at a minimum, pre-deprivation notice of at least seven days before a pre-deprivation hearing at which the government will bear the burden of demonstrating by clear and convincing evidence that he is likely to flee or pose a danger to the community if not arrested. The Clerk of Court is directed to close this case and enter judgment for Petitioner. CASE CLOSED. (Deputy Clerk OFR)
