Order on Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus

Jul 06, 2026

TEXT ORDER. Before the Court is Mackiver Rolando Lopez-Mendez's Petition for habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2241. (ECF No. 1 .) Upon review, the Court agrees with the Respondents that this case presents the same legal issues considered in Tomas Elias v. Hyde, 25-cv-540-JJM-AEM, and the Court reaches the same result here. Accordingly, the Court GRANTS the Petitioner's habeas petition (ECF No. 1 ) as follows. The Respondents are ORDERED to provide the Petitioner with a bond hearing before an Immigration Judge pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a) within seven (7) days of the date of this order. The Respondents are ordered to provide the Petitioner and his attorney with adequate notice of the date and time of that hearing. Finally, the Court ORDERS the Respondents to file a status report within two (2) days of the Petitioner's bond hearing, stating whether he has been granted bond and, if his request for bond was denied, the specific reasons for that denial if those reasons are not detailed in a written order a transcript must be provided. So Ordered by District Judge Mary S. McElroy on 7/6/2026. (Potter, Carrie)
