ORDER terminating 3 Motion. For the reasons stated above, J.T.G.'s Petition is GRANTED. The government is ordered to immediately release J.T.G. in accordance with this decision. The government shall notify J.T.G.'s counsel of where and when J.T.G. will be released. The government must brief its authority, if any consistent with this Order, to (1) redetain J.T.G. without a valid exercise of discretion; (2) deny bond to J.T.G. in any subsequent proceeding on the ground that he must be detained pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2)(A); and (3) invoke the automatic stay provision at 8 C.F.R. § 1003.19(i)(2) if J.T.G. is granted bond in a subsequent proceeding. If, instead, the government confirms that it will take none of those steps with respect to J.T.G. without prior notice of at least one week provided to him and the Court, it need not file such briefing. See Quispe-Sulcaray v. Noem et al., No. 25 Civ. 9908, 2025 WL 3501207, at *2 (S.D.N.Y. Dec. 7, 2025). By June 16, 2026 at 10:00 a.m., the government shall file a letter certifying compliance with this order. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to terminate the motion at ECF No. 3. SO ORDERED.

ORDER granting 16 Letter Motion to Seal. GRANTED. By order dated June 15, 2026, the Court granted J.T.G.'s unopposed request to proceed via pseudonym. The Court finds that the same considerations justify granting J.T.G.'s unopposed request to seal personally identifying information in the specified documents. The Court finds that the redactions are narrowly tailored to protect this information. Accordingly, ECF Nos. 12, 13, 14-1 through 14-6, 14-8, and 14-9 shall be sealed, and the Court accepts the redacted copies filed at ECF Nos. 16-2 through 16-10. SO ORDERED..
