Judge Brian E. Murphy: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered GRANTING in part 1 the petition for writ of habeas corpus. For the reasons set forth in Tenemasa-Lema v. Hyde, 810 F. Supp. 3d 244, 251–52 (D. Mass. 2025), the Court concludes that Petitioner is detained pursuant to 8 U.S.C. s. 1225(b). Nonetheless, as Respondents concede, this Court has previously determined that petitioners detained under 8 U.S.C. s. 1225(b) are entitled to a bond hearing. Dkt. 8 at 2 (citing Rincon v. Hyde, 810 F. Supp. 3d 101 (D. Mass. 2025)). Accordingly, the Court ORDERS that Petitioner receive a constitutionally adequate bond hearing to consider the merits of his release on or before August 5, 2026. Respondents are further ORDERED to file a status report within 24 hours of the Immigration Judge’s decision on bond, stating whether Petitioner has been granted bond, and, if his request for bond was denied, the reasons for that denial, or whether he has been released, and if so, the date, time, and location of his release. Respondents should include a copy of the IJ’s decision with their status report.Any request for fees should be filed within the deadlines set by the Equal Access to Justice Act, 28 U.S.C. s. 2412.(MBM) (Entered: 07/29/2026)
