Judge Allison D. Burroughs: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered. Respondents ask the Court to allow transportation of Petitioner to Texas, [ECF No. 8 ], a request that Petitioner opposes, [ECF No. 9 ]. The Court notes that Respondents' response to Petitioner's petition is due today, February 2, 2026. [ECF No. 4 ], and that Petitioner argues that she is entitled to a bond hearing under 8 U.S.C. § 1226, [ECF No. 9 at 67]. Accordingly, the Court will defer ruling on the issue of transport until it reviews Respondents' response to the petition. If Petitioner is entitled to a bond hearing, the Court would prefer that it be done here to avoid her potentially traveling back and forth across the country. If she is not due a bond hearing, the Court is unlikely to prohibit her transfer. (CAM) (Entered: 02/02/2026)

Judge Allison D. Burroughs: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered. In their response to Petitioner’s petition, Respondents represent that Petitioner is detained under 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a), [ECF No. 11 at 2–3], and refer to a “scheduled bond hearing in Chelmsford Immigration Court,” at which “this Court could order ICE to produce the Petitioner via Webex,” [id. at 2 n.1]. Respondents also previously confirmed that any transfer of Petitioner does not divest this Court of jurisdiction over the petition. [ECF No. 8 at 1]. Accordingly, although the Court will not order Respondents not to transfer Petitioner out of this District (despite how nonsensical it seems to transfer someone with a scheduled bond hearing to Texas, only to have to transport them back again if bond is set), Respondents are ORDERED to provide Petitioner with a bond hearing, at which the government shall bear the burden of proof in accordance with Hernandez-Lara v. Lyons, 10 F.4th 19 (1st Cir. 2021), within 7 days of this order. Respondents are ORDERED to allow Petitioner, if she wishes, to participate remotely in any bond hearing scheduled in Chelmsford Immigration Court. If the bond hearing is already scheduled, her transportation must be arranged so as not to cause delay in the hearing or to deprive her of the ability to participate in the hearing remotely. Should an immigration judge order the release of Petitioner on bond, Respondents are ORDEREDto arrange for Petitioner’s prompt return to this District, unless Petitioner wishes to arrange for her own transportation. Respondents are ORDERED to file a status report, within 10 days of this order, stating whether Petitioner has been granted bond, and, if her request for bond was denied, the reasons for that denial.
