ORDER: Petitioner's Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (Doc. 1) is granted as to his request for release from custody and return of personal property. The remainder of the Petition is denied as moot. Respondents must immediately release Petitioner from custody under the same conditions that existed before his detention. Contemporaneous with Petitioners release, Respondents must return Petitioner's personal property, including his commercial driver's license, Employment Authorization Document, and any another personal property retained when he was detained.Respondents must provide a notice of compliance within two days of this Order. Absent a significant change in Petitioner's circumstances, Respondents and their agents are enjoined from re-detaining Petitioner without seven (7) days prior written notice and an opportunity for Petitioner to be heard by a neutral judge on the reasons for the re-detention and consideration of bond, at which hearing the government must bear the burden of demonstrating by clear and convincing evidence that Petitioner is likely to flee or pose a danger to the community if not detained. Any pending motions are denied as moot and the Clerk of Court must enter judgment in Petitioner's favor and close this case. Signed by Magistrate Judge Michael A Ambri on 10/23/26.
