Aug 11, 2026
ORDER granting Carlos Ruben Manzanarez's-Mendoza's amended petition for writ of habeas corpus (the "Motion"). ECF No. 6 . Based upon the lack of brief in opposition to this Petition, the Court finds that any argument against Petitioner being granted a bond hearing is forfeited. Accordingly, the Court ORDERS that Respondents shall, within seven days of this Order, either provide the petitioner with a bond hearing under 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a), with the government bearing the burden of proving that the petitioner is a flight risk by a preponderance of the evidence or a danger by clear and convincing evidence, or release the petitioner. The respondents shall file a status report within nine days of this Order indicating whether the petitioner was released or a bond hearing was held and the outcome of any bond hearing. This Order makes a decision on the petition and, accordingly, the petitioner's Request to Make a Determinative Decision, ECF No. 19, is GRANTED in part to the extent it requested such a decision. Entered by Magistrate Judge Cyrus Y. Chung on 08/11/2026. Text Only Entry. For all non-e-filer pro se parties, a copy of this document has been sent via U.S. Mail to the mailing address of record.
