Judgment
Jul 31, 2026
TEXT ORDER: Before the Court is Juan Carlos Casiano Calderon's Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus, seeking immediate release from ICE custody because his detention violates the due process clause of the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. (ECF No. 1 at 6) As the basis for the Petition, he both alleges that he has not received a custody redetermination hearing since his detention on July 10, 2026, id. para& 1, and that his due process rights have been violated by the denial of bond on the basis of dangerousness because "[a]n ICE arrest report containing uncorroborated, inconsistent and unreliable allegations of criminal charges that were eventually dismissed cannot establish dangerousness as a matter of law," id. para& 23. Rather than point out this internal factual contradiction, the Respondents generously construe the basis for the Petition as Petitioner claiming entitlement to a bond hearing pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a). ECF No. 4 at 1. The Respondents assert, with documentary support, that Petitioner has been twice removed from the United States, and that he is present in the country now after re-entering without inspection. Id. at 2. His detention, according to Respondents, is therefore pursuant to 8 C.F.R. § 241.8, which explains that individuals who re-enter without inspection after removal shall be removed and "ha[ve] no right to a hearing before an immigration judge." The Respondents further contend, also with documentary support, that they have complied with the notice requirements in § 241.8. Petitioner forewent the opportunity to file a reply. After carefully considering the Petition, the Response and exhibits thereto, as well as the applicable law, the Court concludes that Petitioner has not established any violation of his due process rights and is therefore not entitled to immediate release. Additionally, Petitioner has not established that he has a statutory right to a bond hearing. The Petition is therefore DENIED. So Ordered by District Judge Melissa R. DuBose on 7/31/2026. (Urizandi, Nissheneyra)
