ORDER. For the foregoing reasons, Petitioner's Petition (D. 1 ) is GRANTED IN PART, to the extent Petitioner seeks a bond hearing at which Respondents bear the burden of proof of showing Petitioner's continued detention is proper and was proper at the time of Petitioner's arrest. Respondents shall provide Petitioner with a bond hearing under § 1226(a) within SEVEN DAYS of receiving notice of this Order and Respondents have the responsibility to ensure that the government applies those burdens and provides a sufficient record for review. Additionally, Respondents SHALL notify Petitioner and any counsel who has entered an appearance in this action of the date, time, and place of the hearing no less than 24 hours prior to the beginning of the hearing. Respondents are FURTHER ORDERED to file a status report within FIVE DAYS of Petitioner's bond hearing, stating whether Petitioner has been granted bond, and, if Petitioner's request for bond was denied, the reasons for that denial. Such status update shall also include as an attachment any warrant justifying Petitioner's detention at the time he was detained. It is FURTHER ORDERED that the July 29, 2026, Temporary Restraining Order (D. 4 ) is VACATED to the extent that it requires Respondents show cause. Respondents are still prohibited from removing Petitioner from the District of Colorado except pursuant to a final order of removal from the United States.

ORDER. This matter comes before the Court upon Petitioner's Motion to Enforce Order Granting Writ of Habeas Corpus (D. 10 ). The Court GRANTS the motion the following reasons. Accordingly, pursuant to this Court's inherent authority to enforce its August 14, 2026, Order finding that Petitioner has not been granted a constitutionally sufficient bond hearing as required under § 1226(a), it is ORDERED that Petitioner shall be released from custody immediately, and Petitioner SHALL update this Court in writing upon his release. Respondents may continue to subject Petitioner to the same conditions as before his May 2026 re-detention but no more are warranted. As Respondents have not proven that by a preponderance that Mr. Lorenzo-Juarez is a flight risk or danger to community, there is no basis for imposing additional conditions. It is FURTHER ORDERED that Respondents are prohibited from re-detaining Petitioner on the same grounds. By District Judge Gordon P Gallagher on 8/28/2026. (eluce) (Entered: 08/28/2026)
