ORDER. In short, Gallego Osorio, as an "applicant for admission," is properly detained without bond under Section 1225(b)(2)(A). Buenrostro-Mendez, 166 F.4th at 498. And the Due Process Clause does not require a bond hearing in these circumstances. Thus, the petition for a writ of habeas corpus (Dkt. No. 26) is denied. The motion for a temporary restraining order (Dkt. No. 24 ) is denied as moot. (Ordered by Judge James Wesley Hendrix on 4/28/2026) (skh) (Entered: 04/28/2026)
