District Judge Leo T. Sorokin: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered. After reviewing the Petition and the Response, the Court hereby ALLOWS the Petition as follows. Respondents shall release Petitioner by 6 PM on February 11, 2026, unless he is provided a bond hearing before that time. If a bond hearing occurs, the burdens of proof at the hearing are as resolved by the First Circuit in Hernandez-Lara, and Respondents may not oppose or deny bond to the petitioner by taking the position that the immigration court lacks jurisdiction to hold such a hearing or to set bond if the circumstances warrant it. Respondents shall not retaliate against Petitioner, at a bond hearing or otherwise, for filing this Petition. Respondents shall file a status report no later than February 13, 2026, describing their compliance with this Order. The Court renders this decision in light of the record before the Court, the prior decisions of this Court, and the government’s concession that this case is similar to a prior case resolved by this Court. See also Rincon v. Hyde, No. 25-cv-12633-BEM, 2025 WL 3122784, at *5–10 (D. Mass. Nov. 7, 2025) (finding due process right to bond hearing).(SED) (Entered: 02/05/2026)
