TEXT ORDER: The Court has reviewed the Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 filed by pro se Petitioner, Guerson Printemps, who is presently detained at Delaney Hall Detention Center in Newark, New Jersey. (ECF No. 1.) According to the Petition, Petitioner entered the United States, was granted humanitarian parole and subsequently filed an application for Asylum and Withholding of Removal which remains pending. On April 22, 2026, Petitioner alleges he was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Petitioner further alleges that Respondents have classified his detention as subject to mandatory detention under 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b), thereby denying him access to a bond hearing. Petitioner asserts that his continued detention violates his constitutional rights. (Id.) Accordingly, it is ORDERED that Respondents shall SHOW CAUSE, on or before June 12, 2026, why the Petition should not be granted. Petitioner may file a reply within three (3) business days after Respondents file their response. Petitioner shall serve a copy of the Petition and this Order upon Respondents within two (2) business days of entry of this Order and shall promptly file proof of service on the docket. Petitioner shall not be removed from the District of New Jersey during the pendency of these proceedings. So Ordered by Judge Jamel K. Semper on 6/5/2026. (sms) (Entered: 06/05/2026)

TEXT ORDER: This matter comes before the Court upon a Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241.

Accordingly, the Petition is GRANTED IN PART. It is ORDERED that Respondents shall provide Petitioner with an individualized bond hearing pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a) and 8 C.F.R. § 236.1(d) within seven (7) days of the date of this Order, and it is further ORDERED that within three (3) days of the bond hearing, Respondents shall file a letter advising the Court of the outcome upon which the Court will close this matter absent further relief being warranted.

TEXT ORDER: This Court previously ordered Respondents to provide Petitioner with a bond hearing pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a) 8 . Respondents were also ordered to provide "a letter advising the Court of the outcome" of the bond hearing within three days of the hearing. Id. Respondents have failed to do so. Before the Court is an emergency motion from Petitioner arguing his bond hearing, which occurred on June 22, 2026, violated his due process rights 10 . The Court finds it appropriate to determine whether the bond hearing comported with the requirements of due process and fundamental fairness. See, e.g., Singh v. Holder, 638 F.3d 1196, 1203-05 (9th Cir. 2011). Accordingly, Respondents are ORDERED to submit briefing, with supporting documentation from the bond proceedings as necessary, addressing whether the bond hearing satisfied the requirements of fundamental fairness. Respondents' submission shall be filed within seven (7) days of this Order. Petitioner shall file a reply within three (3) days of Respondents' submission. So Ordered by Judge Jamel K. Semper on 6/26/2026. (sms) (Entered: 06/26/2026)

TEXT ORDER: This matter comes before the Court upon Petitioner's request for review of the June 22, 2026 bond hearing conducted before the Immigration Judge. (ECF No. 10 .) The Court has reviewed Respondents' submissions, including the hearing transcript and the Immigration Judge's order. (ECF Nos. 12, 13.) In a fundamentally fair bond hearing, due process has three essential elements. A non-citizen "(1) is entitled to factfinding based on a record produced before the decisionmaker and disclosed to him or her; (2) must be allowed to make arguments on his or her own behalf; and (3) has the right to an individualized determination of his [or her] interests." Ghanem v. Warden Essex Cnty. Correctional Facility, No. 21-1908, 2022 WL 574624, at *2 (3d Cir. Feb. 25, 2022). Having conducted that review, the Court finds that the June 22, 2026 bond hearing satisfied the requirements of due process and fundamental fairness. Petitioner was represented by counsel, afforded the opportunity to present evidence and argument, and the Immigration Judge considered documentary submissions and articulated the basis for the determination on the record, including findings as to danger to the community and risk of flight grounded in the evidentiary record. The record reflects an individualized assessment of the relevant statutory factors and does not demonstrate any procedural deprivation that would undermine the reliability or integrity of the proceeding. Accordingly, the Court concludes that the bond hearing comported with the minimum requirements of fundamental fairness under Ghanem. It is, on this 6th day of July, 2026, ORDERED that Petitioner's Motion for Further Relief is DENIED (ECF No. 10), and in light of the relief previously granted, all pending motions are DENIED as MOOT. The Clerk is directed to CLOSE this case. So Ordered by Judge Jamel K. Semper on 7/6/2026. (sms) (Entered: 07/06/2026)
