TEXT ORDER: This matter comes before the Court upon Petitioner Aguirre Hernandez's petition for writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2241, D.E. 1 ("Petition") challenging his immigration detention as unlawful, Respondents' response to the Petition, D.E. 2 ("Response") stating Petitioner was detained under 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a) and afforded a bond hearing, and Petitioner's reply brief, D.E. 6 ("Reply"), arguing he is entitled to release under the terms of the Court's Order, D.E. 2 ("Order"). The Order directed Respondents to release Petitioner if he is not subject to a final order of removal, he was apprehended in the interior of the United States, and at the time Respondent filed his Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus, DHS had not issued a Notice of Custody Determination (Form I-286). See Order. Respondents stated Petitioner was afforded a bond hearing under § 1226(a) but did not confirm that DHS issued a Notice of Custody Determination by the time the Petition was filed. Accordingly, it is ORDERED that Respondents shall RELEASE Petitioner within 24 hours if DHS did not issue a Notice of Custody Determination by the time Petition was filed, and Petitioner does not have a criminal history or a final order of removal; alternatively, Respondents shall provide evidence of the Form I-286 issued in this matter, Petitioner's criminal history, if any, or Petitioner's final removal order. Respondents shall provide an update regarding Petitioner's release or the above within three days of this Order. So Ordered by Judge Evelyn Padin on 10/29/2026. (bt) (Entered: 10/29/2026)
