TEXT ORDER: : Petitioner alleges he is unlawfully detained under 8 U.S.C. § 1225. Under this Court's recent decisions in Rivera Zumba v. Bondi, No. 25-14626 (KSH), 2025 WL 2753496 (D.N.J. Sept. 26, 2025) (interpreting § 1225(b)(2)), Rivas Rodriguez v. Rokosky, No. 25-17419 (CPO), 2025 WL 3485628 (D.N.J. Dec. 3, 2025) (interpreting § 1225(b)(1)), and other recent decisions in this District interpreting § 1225, the Court holds that Petitioner is subject to detention under § 1226(a). It is ORDERED that, in accordance with 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a), no later than 5:00 p.m. on January 14, 2026, Respondents shall provide Petitioner with an individualized bond hearing before an immigration judge who shall assess whether he presents a flight risk or a danger to the community. Within three (3) days of that bond hearing, Respondents shall file a written notice of the outcome of that hearing with this Court. If Respondents contend that Petitioner's detention is distinguishable from the cases in this district previously addressing §1225, they shall file an expedited answer by 12:00 p.m. on January 15, 2026, and Petitioner shall file a reply by 5:00 p.m. on January 16, 2026. Petitioner shall not be removed from the United States during the pendency of these proceedings. So Ordered by Judge Jamel K. Semper on 1/12/2026. (sms) (Entered: 01/12/2026)
