District Judge Leo T. Sorokin: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered. Respondents concede that Petitioner is eligible for a bond hearing under 8 U.S.C. 1226 and do not oppose the Court ordering a bond hearing. Doc. No. 7. After reviewing the Petition and the Response, the Court hereby ALLOWS the Petition as follows. Respondents shall release Petitioner by 6:00 p.m. on June 25, 2026, unless he is provided a bond hearing under 8 U.S.C. 1226(a) before that time. If a bond hearing occurs, Respondents may not at the hearing argue that Petitioner is or should be detained pursuant to 8 U.S.C. 1225, nor may Petitioner be ordered detained pursuant to section 1225. The burdens of proof at any bond hearing are as resolved by the First Circuit in Hernandez-Lara, and should the immigration judge find that the government has met its burden of proof as to flight or danger, they shall consider whether any condition, combination of conditions, or less-restrictive alternative to detention would ameliorate such risk. Respondents shall not retaliate against Petitioner, at a bond hearing or otherwise, for filing this Petition. Respondents shall file a status report no later than June 29, 2026, describing their compliance with this Order. The Court renders this decision in light of the record before the Court, the prior decisions of this Court, and the Respondents’ concession that Petitioner is eligible for a bond hearing. See Doc. No. 7 .(FGD) (Entered: 06/18/2026)
