TEXT ORDER - Petitioner alleges he is unlawfully detained under 8 U.S.C. § 1225. Under this Court's recent decisions in Rivera 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 6, 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 5, 2026, and Petitioner shall file a reply by 5:00 p.m. on February 5, 2026. Petitioner shall not be removed from New Jersey during the pendency of these proceedings. In light of the Court ordering an expedited bond hearing, Petitioner's motion for an order to show cause (ECF No. 2) is DENIED as moot. So Ordered by Judge Karen M. Williams on January 31, 2026.

TEXT ORDER: Upon review of the record, including Respondents' February 6, 2026 letter (ECF No. 5), the Court notes that its January 31, 2026 order (ECF No. 3) directed Respondents to provide Petitioner with an individualized bond hearing pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a). Respondents' letter (ECF No. 5) and the Order of the Immigration Judge (ECF No. 5-1) reflect that the hearing conducted on February 5, 2026 was erroneously held under 8 C.F.R. § 1236, contrary to this Court's order. Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that Respondents shall provide Petitioner with a new bond hearing under 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a) no later than 5:00 p.m. on February 16, 2026. The hearing shall be conducted by an immigration judge who shall consider all relevant evidence, assess flight risk and danger to the community, and exercise discretion consistent with § 1226(a) with the burden of proof upon Respondents. Respondents shall file a written notice of the outcome of this hearing with the Court within three (3) days of its completion. The record shall reflect that the February 5, 2026 hearing did not satisfy the individualized hearing requirement under § 1226(a). So Ordered by Judge Karen M. Williams on February 9, 2026. (Williams, Karen) (Entered: 02/09/2026)
