OPINION AND ORDER: re 1 PETITION for Writ of Habeas Corpus Under 28:2241 filed by Dilson Joel Graterol Ruiz. Parties should have additional time to gather information regarding the constitutional issues raised, specifically regarding the condi tions of confinement and the revocation of parole. In the interim, to address the lack of an individualized determination that Mr. Graterol Ruiz is entitled to pursuant to 8 U.S.C. S 1226(a), the court orders an individualized bond hearing to occur w ithin five days in front of an Immigration Judge. At this hearing, the government will bear the burden of showing by clear and convincing standard evidence that Mr. Graterol Ruiz poses a flight risk or a danger to the community. The parties shall report to the court when this hearing is scheduled and the outcome. Additionally, the temporary restraining order shall remain in effect until 5:00 p.m. on February 13, 2026. Signed by District Judge Mary Kay Lanthier on 2/6/2026. (kp)
