District Judge Patti B. Saris: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered re 1 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (2241), filed by Luis Gustavo Coelho Martins Dutra. Petitioner Luis Gustavo Coelho Martins Dutra ("Petitioner") has filed a habeas petition under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 to challenge his immigration detention without a bond hearing. The government concedes that "Petitioner is detained pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a)" and that "[h]e is entitled to a bond hearing should he request one." Dkt. 6 at 1. To the extent the government argues that Petitioner failed to exhaust administrative remedies by first asking the immigration court for a bond hearing, the Court will not deny the petition on the basis of exhaustion where, as here, Petitioner could "suffer irreparable harm if unable to secure immediate judicial consideration of his claim." Portela-Gonzalez v. Sec'y of the Navy, 109 F.3d 74, 77 (1st Cir. 1997) (quoting McCarthy v. Madigan, 503 U.S. 140, 147 (1992)). Accordingly, the Court ALLOWS the habeas petition (Dkt. 1 ) and ORDERS that the government release Petitioner unless he is provided with a bond hearing that complies with the standards outlined in Hernandez-Lara v. Lyons, 10 F.4th 19 (1st Cir. 2021), within seven business days of the date of this order. No later than fourteen days from the date of this order, the government shall file a status report confirming that Petitioner has received a bond hearing (or has been released in lieu of a bond hearing) and stating the outcome of the bond hearing.
