OPINION & ORDER: For the reasons stated above, the Petition for a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 is GRANTED IN PART. The Government is ordered to provide an individualized bond hearing before an immigration judge to Petitioner to determine whether his continued detention is justified by October 2, 2026. At the bond hearing, which must be before a neutral immigration judge, the Government must bear the burden of showing, by clear and convincing evidence, that Petitioner presents an unreasonable flight risk or threat to the community that cannot be mitigated by reasonable conditions of supervision or monetary bond. In determining whether to grant bond, the [immigration judge] shall [meaningfully] consider the availability of alternative conditions of release, and in determining the amount of any bond imposed, the [immigration judge] shall consider Petitioner's ability to pay, though it shall remain within the [immigration judge]'s discretion to determine the influence those considerations shall have on the [immigration judge]'s ultimate decision. Tapia v. Arteta, No. 26-CV-2527, 2026 WL 1863849, at *8 (S.D.N.Y. June 29, 2026) (quoting O.F.C. v. Decker, No. 22-CV-2255, 2022 WL 4448728, at *11 (S.D.N.Y. Sept. 12, 2022)). IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Government shall file a status letter to update me about Petitioner's status and the outcome of the bond hearing within 7 days of its occurrence. Thus, the Government shall inform me whether or not a bond hearing has been held by October 9, 2026. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, if Petitioner is granted bond, the Government is ENJOINED from invoking the automatic stay provision at 8 C.F.R. § 1003.19(i)(2). Rueda Torres v. Francis, No. 25-CV-8408, 2025 WL 3168759, at *6 (S.D.N.Y. Nov. 13, 2025). SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Vernon S. Broderick on 9/18/2026) (rro) (Entered: 09/18/2026)
