TEXT ORDER: The Court has reviewed Petitioner's Motion to Enforce Judgment (ECF No. 15), and the parties' submissions (ECF Nos. 7, 12-14). First, Petitioner asks the Court to compel the Board of Immigration Appeals ("BIA") to adjudicate his pending appeal from the Immigration Judge's denial of his motion to reopen and/or his request for a stay of removal. (ECF No. 7 45-54; ECF No. 12 at 2.) Mandamus is an extraordinary remedy available only where, inter alia, the petitioner demonstrates a clear and indisputable right to relief and the respondent has a clear, nondiscretionary duty to act. See Allied Chem. Corp. v. Daiflon, Inc., 449 U.S. 33, 35 (1980). Although the BIA has a duty to adjudicate matters properly before it, Petitioner has not demonstrated that the period of administrative processing at issue constitutes an unreasonable delay warranting the extraordinary remedy of mandamus. Accordingly, Petitioner's request for mandamus relief is DENIED. Secondly, the Court finds that the August 28, 2026 bond hearing satisfied the requirements of due process and fundamental fairness. In a fundamentally fair bond hearing, due process requires that a noncitizen "(1) is entitled to factfinding based on a record produced before the decisionmaker and disclosed to him or her; (2) must be allowed to make arguments on his own behalf; and (3) has the right to an individualized determination of his [or her] interests." Ghanem v. Warden Essex Cnty. Corr. Facility, No. 21-1908, 2022 WL 574624, at *2 (3d Cir. Feb. 25, 2022). Here, Petitioner was represented by counsel and was afforded an opportunity to present evidence and argument. The hearing transcript reflects that the Immigration Judge considered the parties' arguments and made an individualized determination concerning Petitioner's risk of flight. (See ECF No. 14-1.) Accordingly, Petitioner's Motion to Enforce Judgment (ECF No. 15) is DENIED. The Clerk of Court is directed to CLOSE this matter. So Ordered by Judge Karen M. Williams on 10/15/26.
