/// ORDER. The petition (doc. no. 1) is granted to the extent that the court (1) DECLARES that petitioner's continued detention in the absence of a bond hearing before an IJ violates his due process rights for the reasons stated in Destino, 2025 WL 4010424, and (2) ORDERS that respondents must provide petitioner with a constitutionally adequate bond hearing before an IJ within seven (7) days, unless petitioner requests a continuance, in which case the bond hearing sh all be held as soon as practicable. Because petitioner is entitled to a bond hearing as a matter of due process, the IJ shall have authority to consider the petitioner's release regardless of whether he is subject to mandatory detention as a statutory matter. The government shall file a status report within 24 hours of the IJ's bond decision. So Ordered by Judge Landya B. McCafferty.(de)
