ORDER GRANTING Petitioner's Application for a Writ of Habeas Corpus Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 1 . Based on Respondents Status Report 7 the Court understands that Petitioner has been released. Respondents are ENJOINED from re-arresting or re-detaining Petitioner unless they demonstrate, by clear and convincing evidence at a pre-deprivation bond hearing before a neutral decisionmaker, that he is a flight risk or danger to the community such that his physical custody is legally justified pursuant to 8 U.S.C § 1226(a). At any such bond hearing, Respondents shall bear the burden of proof, and Petitioner shall be allowed to have counsel present. This injunction shall remain in effect until such time as this Court, or the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals, vacates this Order. Petitioners Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order 2 is DENIED as moot. SO ORDERED by Chief Judge Regina M. Rodriguez on 11/3/26. Text Only Entry (rmlc5, ) (Entered: 11/03/2026)
