TEXT ORDER Petitioner alleges he is unlawfully detained under 8 U.S.C. § 1225. Under this Court's recent decisions inRivera 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 February 4, 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 February 3, 2026, and Petitioner shall file a reply by 5:00 p.m. on February 3, 2026.

TEXT ORDER: In light of the Court's Order entered on January 27, 2026 (ECF No. 2), which ordered Respondents to provide Petitioner with a bond hearing pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a), the Court notes that Respondents thereafter provided Petitioner with a bond hearing, following which, Petitioner was released upon the posting of a $15,000 bond. The Court has reviewed Respondents' February 5, 2026 letter advising of the outcome of Petitioner's bond hearing (ECF No. 4) and is satisfied that Petitioner has received the relief contemplated by the Court's prior Order. Accordingly, there remains no live controversy for adjudication. The Clerk of Court is directed to CLOSE this case. So Ordered by Judge Karen M. Williams on February 10, 2026.
