ORDER CONDITIONALLY GRANTING PETITION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS by Judge Stanley Blumenfeld, Jr.: On 9/25/2026, Petitioner filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus challenging the lawfulness of his continued detention without a bond hearing and seeking either immediate release or a bond hearing under 8 U.S.C. section 1226(a) 1 . In light of the government's concession that Petitioner appears entitled to receive a section 1226(a) bond hearing, the petition is conditionally granted. Th e government may continue to detain Petitioner only if it provides him with an individualized bond hearing within seven days. If the government fails to provide the hearing within seven days, it shall release Petitioner from custody. The government s hall file a status report no later than October 19 confirming compliance with this order. The Court retains jurisdiction solely to determine whether the government has complied and not to adjudicate new legal or constitutional challenges arising from the bond hearing itself. Judgment will be entered separately. (gk)
