ORDER. It is ORDERED that that Petitioner Jos Arnulfo Pineda Lopez's 1 Petition is GRANTED. The respondents are ORDERED to provide the petitioner with a bond hearing in front of an immigration judge pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a). The Court ORDERS that the immigration court provide the petitioner with the opportunity for a bond hearing prior to any hearing on the merits of his removal, and no later than three days from the date of entry of this Order. The respondents are ENJOINED from denying bond to the petitioner on the basis that he is detained pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2). The respondents are ORDERED to file a status report with this Court within three days after the petitioner's bond hearing and prior to any hearing on the merits, stating whether he has been granted bond, and, if his request for bond was denied, the reason for that denial. In the event the petitioner is released on bond, the respondents are ENJOINED from rearresting the petitioner, unless he has committed a new violation of any federal, state, or local law, or has failed to attend any properly noticed immigration or court hearing or is subject to detention pursuant to a final order of removal. Should the petitioner be released on bond, the respondents are FURTHER ENJOINED from invoking the automatic stay provision at 8 C.F.R. § 1003.19(i)(2). Signed by District Judge Jamar K.
