MEMORANDUM AND ORDER ENTERED: The petition for habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 is hereby denied in part and retained under advisement in part. Because petitioner is presently detained under 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a) and a bond hearing is therefore available to her, the Court denies petitioner's claim for entitlement to a hearing under that statute. Petitioner's claim for release under the 2021 policy made effective by the ICWC ruling is retained under advisement; respond ents shall file a supplemental response brief, as directed herein, on or before October 27, 2026, and petitioner may file a reply brief addressing this claim on or before November 10, 2026. Petitioner's motion to file her traverse out of time (Doc. # 10 ) is hereby granted, and the traverse submitted with the motion shall be deemed filed. Signed by District Judge John W. Lungstrum on 10/20/2026. Mailed to pro se party Lizbeth Mondragon Gordillo by regular mail. (smnd)
