IT IS FURTHER ORDERED Respondents must RELEASE Petitioner from detention on his person al recognizance on August 29, 2026 between the hours of 12:00 P.M. and 3:00 P.M. Counsel for Petitioner (or their designee/agent) will be permitted to wait in the Federal Justice Tower lobby during the release window. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED R espondents are PROHIBITED from imposing release conditions that substantially interfere with Petitioner's liberty, such as electronic monitoring, without having established the reasonableness of those restrictions, by clear and convincing eviden ce, at a pre-deprivation hearing. If Federal Respondents impose release conditions in violation of this Order, the Court will consider contempt sanctions against the agency officials responsible. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED Respondents must return Petit ioner's personal property, including any personal identification and employment authorization documents, UPON HIS RELEASE. If Federal Respondents fail to do so, the Court will consider contempt sanctions against the agency officials responsible. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED Respondents are PERMANENTLY ENJOINED from detaining Petitioner pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2)(A). IT IS FURTHER ORDERED Respondents may not re-detain Petitioner during the pendency of his current removal proceedin gs until after an immigration court hearing is held, with adequate notice, to determine whether detention is appropriate under the INA and its implementing regulations. To the extent the government seeks to detain Petitioner under 8 U.S.C. § 122 6(a), it bears the burden of establishing that detention is appropriate by clear and convincing evidence. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED the Parties must file a JOINT STATUS REPORT by September 1, 2026, confirming Respondents' compliance with this Order, including: (i) the date and time of Petitioners release; (ii) compliance with this Court's directives concerning release on personal recognizance; and (iii) the return of Petitioners personal property. The Clerk of Court is kindl y instructed to enter judgment accordingly and close this case. The Court retains jurisdiction to enforce its order and judgment. Petitioner may move to reopen this case to enforce the judgment without filing a separate case. Signed by Judge Richard F. Boulware, II on 8/28/2026.
