ORDER - For the reasons stated in this Order, it is hereby ORDERED as follows: 1) The Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus, ECF No. 1, is GRANTED to the extent it seeks an individualized bond hearing before an immigration judge. 2) The Government is directed to provide Petitioner with the statutory process required under 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a), which includes a bond hearing. 3) The bond hearing shall include an individualized determination of whether Petitioner poses a danger to the community or a flight risk under the ordinary Section 1226(a) framework. The immigration judge shall state the reasons for the custody determination orally on the record or in writing. If bond is denied, the immigration judge shall identify the principal facts and evidence relied upon in determining that Petitioner poses a danger to the community, a flight risk, or both. Nothing in this Order requires the immigration judge to reach any particular custody determination. 4) The Government shall arrange for a individualized bond hearing to be conducted by an immigration judge within 30 days of the issuance of this Order. 5) If Petitioner is not provided with a bond hearing within 30 days of the issuance of this Order, or if the immigration judge declines jurisdiction or denies eligibility for a bond hearing, Respondents shall immediately release Petitioner from custody. 6) If Petitioner is granted bond and the Government appeals the immigration judge's decision, then, upon notification to this Court, the writ shall issue and Petitioner shall be automatically released from custody. 7) With no further action required by the Court at this time, the Clerk of Court shall mark this matter closed, and as more fully stated in said Order. Signed by Judge Stephanie L. Haines on 9/22/2026. (dlg) (Entered: 09/23/2026)
