ORDER re: 12 Response. While removal proceedings are being adjudicated, a noncitizen may be detained under 8 U.S.C. § 1225 or 1226. See Johnson v. Guzman Chavez, 594 U.S. 523, 527-28, 533 (2021); Jennings v. Rodriguez, 583 U.S. 281, 287-89 (2018). At the time this case was filed, the petitioner's removal proceedings were still pending, but the respondents now state that an immigration judge has since issued an order of removal that has become final. See Doc. 12 . It thus appears that the petitioner is now subject to mandatory detention under 8 U.S.C. § 1231 during the ninety-day "removal period," and that, depending on the circumstances, he could be properly detained under Section 1231 for six months or longer. See 8 U.S.C. § 1231; Zadvydas v. Davis, 533 U.S. 678, 687-88 (2001); Le v. Mullin, No. 1:26-cv-00298-DDD-CYC, 2026 WL 1625297, at *2 (D. Colo. May 11, 2026). The petitioner may file a reply on or before 7/16/2026 explaining any reasons why 1 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus should not be denied as moot and dismissed without prejudice. SO ORDERED by Chief Judge Daniel D. Domenico on 07/09/2026. Text Only Entry. (agryan) (Entered: 07/09/2026)

June 30, 2026), and because it appears the petitioner's order of removal has not yet become final, within one week of this Order the respondents must either:(a) provide the petitioner with a bond hearing before an immigration judge pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a) and 8 C.F.R. §§ 236.1(d)(1), 1003.19, & 1236.1(d)(1) or else release the petitioner, and file a status report stating the results of any bond hearing that was conducted or the date of the petitioner's release if no bond hearing was held; or(b) show cause why this case is distinguishable from Santillan Quiroz and the application for a writ of habeas corpus should not be granted.SO ORDERED by Chief Judge Daniel D.
