MINUTE ORDER: Before the Court is Petitioner's habeas petition, ECF No. 1, and Respondents' Response to it, ECF No. 8. Petitioner states that although his order of removal became final over six months ago, ECF No. 1 at 2, his removal is not significantly likely to occur in the reasonably foreseeable future, id. Petitioner also states that he is neither a danger to the community, id. at 3, nor a flight risk, id. 2. See also id. ("I have complied with all of ICE's requests to facilitate my removal."). In their response, Respondents state that they are "not submitting a brief in opposition to the Petition." ECF No. 8 at 1-2. In Zadvydas v. Davis, the Supreme Court stated that if a noncitizen with a final order of removal has been detained pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1231(a) for more than six months and "provides good reason to believe that there is no significant likelihood of [their] removal in the reasonably foreseeable future, the Government must respond with evidence sufficient to rebut that showing" in order for the noncitizen's continued detention to remain reasonable. 533 U.S. 678, 701 (2001). In light of this, as well as Respondents' representation that they "are not submitting a brief in opposition to the Petition," ECF No. 8 at 1, the Court finds that Petitioner has met his un-rebutted burden of establishing that his continued detention is unreasonable. Accordingly, the Court GRANTS Petitioner's habeas petition, ECF No. 1. It is ORDERED that Respondents shall release Petitioner from custody immediately, but no later than within 24 hours of this Order, under reasonable conditions of supervision pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1231(a)(3), to the extent any such conditions "are appropriate in the circumstances," Zadvydas, 533 U.S. at 700. Respondents SHALL FILE a status report within TWO DAYS of this Order to certify compliance. Additionally, Respondents are further ENJOINED AND RESTRAINED from re-detaining Petitioner unless they demonstrate, by clear and convincing evidence at a pre-deprivation bond hearing, that Petitioner is a flight risk or danger to the community such that his physical custody is legally justified. At any such bond hearing, the government shall bear the burden of proof. By Judge Charlotte N. Sweeney on 8/26/2026. For all non-e-filer pro se parties, a copy of this document has been sent via U.S. Mail to the mailing address of record. Text Only Entry (cnsja, ) (Entered: 08/26/2026)
