TEXT ORDER: The Respondents have explained that the basis for the Petitioner's detention is 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(1)(B)(ii). See ECF 7 at 1-2. But that does not work. Section 1225(b)(1), per its title, plainly covers "aliens arriving in the United States and certain other aliens who have not been admitted or paroled." The Petitioner does not fall into either of those categories. Cf. Coal. for Humane Immigrant Rights v. Noem, 805 F. Supp. 3d 48, 89-94. (D.D.C. 2025); Sidqui v. Almodovar, 823 F. Supp. 3d 364, 383-85 (S.D.N.Y. 2026) (collecting cases). The Petitioner arrived in the United States in 2021, and was subsequently released into the United States via an order of recognizance. See ECF 9 at 2. "[A]s a matter of plain-text reading," it is therefore "§ 1226(a) that applies to people situated like the Petitioner, not § 1225(b)[(1)(B)]." Castillo v. Lyons, 2025 WL 2940990, at *1 (D.N.J. Oct. 10, 2025). The consequence of all of this: an immigration-court bond hearing must go forward. Accordingly, a bond hearing shall be conducted on or before June 17 at noon unless, by June 16 at 5:00pm, the Respondents file a letter explaining that the Petitioner has asked to adjourn the bond hearing. The Respondents shall file a status update on or before June 17 at 5:00pm. So Ordered by Judge Michael E. Farbiarz on 7/15/26. (ro, ) (Entered: 07/15/2026)

TEXT ORDER: At ECF 10, the Court ordered that "a bond hearing shall be conducted on or before June 17 at noon unless, by June 16 at 5:00pm, the Respondents file a letter explaining that the Petitioner has asked to adjourn the bond hearing. The Respondents shall file a status update on or before June 17 at 5:00pm." The references to "June" are typographical errors. A bond hearing shall be conducted on or before July 17 at noon unless, by July 16 at 5:00pm, the Respondents file a letter explaining that the Petitioner has asked to adjourn the bond hearing. The Respondents shall file a status update on or before July 17 at 5:00pm. So Ordered by Judge Michael E. Farbiarz on 7/15/26. (ro, ) (Entered: 07/15/2026)

TEXT ORDER: A petition was filed, see ECF 1, a bail hearing was ordered, see ECF 10, and it was conducted. See ECF 13 . Therefore, it appears that the petition should be dismissed. See Chiquito Barzola v. Warden, 2025 WL 3443487, at *1 (D.N.J. Dec. 1, 2025). If any party has a different view, it should explain why in a brief letter, to be filed on or before July 23 at 5:00pm. If no persuasive letter is received, the petition will be promptly dismissed. So Ordered by Judge Michael E. Farbiarz on 7/21/26. (ro, ) (Entered: 07/21/2026)
