MEMORANDUM (Order to follow as separate docket entry).For the foregoing reasons, the court concludes that the petitioner is currently detained pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a), not 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2), and thus he was entitled to an individ ualized bond hearing. Accordingly, the petition will be granted, and, in light of the bond hearing previously conducted by an immigration judge in this matter, at which the immigration judge found that the petitioner poses no danger to the community and that any flight risk can be mitigated by requiring a $5,000 bond be posted, the government will be ordered to release the petitioner from custody forthwith under such bond. An appropriate order follows. Signed by Honorable Joseph F. Saporito, Jr. on 07/10/2026. (nrr)
