MEMORANDUM & ORDER: [T]he Petitioner is being unlawfully detained by the Government. The Petition is therefore GRANTED. The court DECLARES that (1) the Petitioner is subject to 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a)'s discretionary detention framework; and (2) the Petitioner's continued detention under 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)'s mandatory detention framework is unlawful. The Government is PERMANENTLY ENJOINED from re-detaining the Petitioner under 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a) absent providing the Petitioner with an individualized, pre-deprivation hearing that comports with all relevant statutory and constitutional requirements. The Government is ORDERED to immediately release Petitioner from custody without any restraints imposed on the Petitioner's liberty that did not otherwise exist before his detention on September 18, 2026. The Petitioner's release SHALL occur (i) in no case later than 2:00 p.m. Central Time on Saturday, October 10, 2026; and (iii) with all possessions, property, and documents that Petitioner had at the time he was taken into custody. The Government is FURTHER ORDERED to file a Status Report with the court no later than 1 p.m. CST on October 13, 2026 to certify compliance with this Order. Signed by District Judge Aleta A.
