Chief District Judge Denise J. Casper: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered re D. 1 Emergency PETITION for Writ of Habeas Corpus (2241); and D. 6 RESPONSE/ANSWER to Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (2241).The Court has reviewed the petition for a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2241, filed by Matheus Araujo da Silva ("Petitioner"), D. 1, as well the government's response, D. 6, in which respondents concede that Petitioner "is currently detained pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a)" and "is entitled to a bond hearing before an Immigration Judge should he request one." The response does not ask the Court to hold the petition in abeyance or to dismiss it. See D. 6. Respondents' concession is well founded. The Court previously concluded Petitioner was subject to detention under § 1226(a), see Araujo da Silva v. Bondi, No. 25-cv-12672-DJC (D. Mass. Oct. 21, 2025), D. 16, and respondents have not identified a different statutory basis for Petitioner's present detention, see D. 6. Accordingly, the Court ALLOWS the Petition, D. 1, insofar as it sought a bond hearing/custody redetermination under 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a), at which the government bears the burden of proving Petitioner poses a danger to the community or flight risk, see Hernandez-Lara v. Lyons, 10 F.4th 19, 41 (1st Cir. 2021), which the Court ORDERS within seven (7) days of this Order. Respondents are also ENJOINED from denying Petitioner bond on the basis that he is detained pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2). The Court further ORDERS Respondents to file a status report within ten (10) days of this Order stating whether Petitioner has been granted bond and, if his request for bond was denied, the reasons for that denial.
