Such release may include conditions if Respondents so require, including that Petitioner shall self-report to ICE following that divorce proceeding. If Respondents require Petitioner to self-report to ICE following the divorce proceeding, Petitioner shall thereafter (but no later than two days after the self-report date) be provided a bond hearing pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1226. If the immigration judge declines to conduct a bond hearing based on Matter of Yajure Hurtado, 29 I. & N. Dec. 216 (BIA 2025), Respondents shall promptly advise the court so that this court may conduct the bond hearing. Any decision by the immigration judge to retain E.J. in custody following a bond hearing pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1226 shall set forth the reasons for the continued detention.
