TEXT ORDER: This matter comes before the Court upon Petitioner's motion to enforce judgment, (ECF No. 5, Motion to Enforce), and Respondents' request for an extension of time to provide Petitioner with a bond hearing under 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a) (ECF No. 7, Response to Motion). Under the circumstances present here, and in accordance with the flexible nature of the habeas remedy, see Boumediene v. Bush, 553 U.S. 723, 813 (2008) ("habeas is, as the majority acknowledges, a flexible remedy rather than a substantive right"), IT IS ORDERED that Respondents shall release Petitioner within 24 hours of entry of this Order. Respondents shall file a letter of compliance with this Order within three days (3) of Petitioner's release. So Ordered by Judge Katharine S. Hayden on 8/7/26. (cm, ) (Entered: 08/07/2026)
