Judge Myong J. Joun: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered. In their Response to Habeas Petition, Respondents acknowledge that the legal issues presented in this petition are similar to those addressed in Inlago Tocagon v. Moniz, 25-cv-12453. Doc. No. 8 at 4. I incorporate by reference the reasoning in my September 29, 2025 Order granting bond in the Inlago Tocagon case 25-cv-12453 Doc. No. 14, and find that Mr. Antony David Cruz Medrano (“Petitioner”) is subject to Section 1226(a)’s discretionary detention framework and is thus eligible for bond. The Petition for Writ of Habeas is GRANTED. Respondents are ORDERED to provide Petitioner with a bond hearing under 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a) within 10 days of this Order. The Respondents are ENJOINED from denying bond to Petitioner on the basis that he is detained pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2). The Respondents are further ORDERED to file a status report within 24 hours of the bond hearing, stating whether Petitioner has been granted bond, and, if his request for bond was denied, the reasons for that denial.(SP) (Entered: 01/23/2026)
