District Judge Angel Kelley: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered. Before the Court is Petitioner Luiz Alexander Ramas Ortiz’s Emergency Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus. [Dkt. 1]. Respondents acknowledge that Petitioner is eligible for a bond hearing conducted pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a) under the binding decision in Guerrero Orellana v. Moniz, No. 25-2152, 2026 WL 2352042 (1st Cir. Aug. 13, 2026). [Dkt. 7]. In Guerrero Orellana v. Moniz, the First Circuit held that the arrest and detention of noncitizens within the United States is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a). On the facts before it, the Court does not find reason to deviate from the analysis presented in Guerrero Orellana. Accordingly, Petitioner is subject to 8 U.S.C. § 1226’s discretionary detention framework and entitled to a bond hearing. He has not received such a hearing, so his detention is unlawful. Petitioner’s Petition [Dkt. 1] is GRANTED. Respondents are ORDERED to provide Petitioner with a bond hearing under 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a) within ten (10) calendar days of this Order, unless Petitioner requests an extension. Respondents are ENJOINED from denying Petitioner bond on the basis that he is detained pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2). Respondents are ORDERED to file a status report within fourteen (14) calendar days of this Order stating whether Petitioner has been granted bond, and, if his request for bond was denied, the reasons for that denial.(CEH) (Entered: 10/13/2026)

District Judge Angel Kelley: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered. On October 13, 2026, this Court granted Petitioner’s Habeas Petition. [Dkt. 8]. On October 26, 2026, Respondents provided a Status Report indicating that Petitioner had a bond hearing on October 22, 2026 and was granted bond. [Dkt. 10]. As a result, absent objection within the next seven (7) calendar days, the Court will terminate the suit. Any objection may address, among other things, whether the bond hearing complied with the requirements of Hernandez-Lara v. Lyons, 10 F.4th 19 (1st Cir. 2021). The Court retains jurisdiction for seven calendar days to consider any timely objections.(CEH) (Entered: 10/27/2026)
