CASE MANAGEMENT ORDER. IT IS HEREBY ORDERED as follows: (1) Service. Petitioner's counsel shall serve Respondents with a copy of this order and the Petition via a single e-mail at: usapaw.civ.imm.2241.moshannon@usdoj.gov. The subject line of the email shall contain the case caption and case number of this matter. If the Petition contains voluminous exhibits, they need not be emailed (Petitioner's counsel shall provide all such exhibits upon request of Respondents' counsel). The email service shall be deemed sufficient to accomplish formal service of the Petition. No other documents, pleadings, or motions may be emailed to this email address. (2) Certificate of compliance of service. Upon completion of service via e-mail as reflected in Paragraph 1, Petitioner's counsel shall file a notice of compliance, certifying the date and time of service. (3) Respondents' counsel notice of appearances. Counsel for Respondents shall file a notice of appearance within 3 days of the filing of Petitioner's Certificate of Compliance of Service. (4) Respondents' response to the petition. The Court has reviewed the petition and supporting materials, and finds that the threshold issue concerns whether Petitioner is entitled to a bond hearing under 8 U.S.C. § 1226, or whether he is subject to mandatory detention under 8 U.S.C. § 1225 pursuant to the interpretation set forth in Matter of Yajure Hurtado, 29 I. & N. Dec. 216 (BIA 2025). Based on its prior decisions on this issue (i.e., Aguirre-Guevara v. Oddo, et al., Case No. 3:26-cv-00070, ECF No. 8 (W.D. Pa. Feb. 11, 2026); Cova v. Rose, et al, Case No. 3:26-cv-00101, ECF No. 9 (W.D. Pa. Feb. 11, 2026); Radway v. Jamison, et al, Case No.3:26-cv-00104, ECF No. 9 (W.D. Pa. Feb. 19, 2026); Didi v. Warden of Moshannon Valley Ice Processing Center et al, Case No. 3:26-cv-00125, ECF No. 11 (W.D. Pa. Feb. 19, 2026); Coc Ixim v. Oddo et al, Case No. 3:26-cv-0019, ECF No. 10 (W.D. Pa. Feb. 19, 2026)), the Court tentatively intends to grant relief in the form of an individualized bond hearing before an immigration judge. If Respondents believe that there are factual or legal differences between this case and the other cases in which the Court has decided the issue, then they may file a response to the petition on or before 7 days, identifying those differences. Responses are limited to 25 pages, double-spaced. If Respondents' position is the same as in the prior cases in which this issue has been raised and decided by the Court, they shall simply state as much in the response, cite to any response or brief previously filed on the issue in this Court, and their positions shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference into the record. Signed by Judge Mark R. Hornak on 7/17/26. Text-only entry; no PDF document will issue. This text-only entry constitutes the Order of the Court or Notice on the matter. (bdb) (Entered: 07/17/2026)
