TEXT ORDER:.S.C. § 1225. Under this Court's recent decision in Lomeu v. Soto, No. 25-16589, 2025 WL 2981296 (D.N.J. Oct. 23, 2025) (interpreting § 1225(b)(2)), this District's recent decision in Rivas Rodriguez v. Rokosky, No. 25-17419, 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), which entitles him to a bond hearing. It is ORDERED that, in accordance with 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a), Respondents shall, within 7 days of this Order, provide Petitioner with an individualized bond hearing before an immigration judge who shall assess whether Petitioner presents a flight risk or a danger to the community pursuant to 8 C.F.R. § 236.1(c)(8), (d)(1). Within 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, within 5 days of this Order, an expedited answer. In that Answer, Respondents shall inform the Court whether they stipulate that Petitioner has accurately represented his criminal record. To the extent Respondents disagree with Petitioner's representation of his criminal record, Respondents shall provide the Court with supplemental documentation supporting their position. Petitioner may file a reply within 3 days of the date of filing of Respondents' expedited answer. Pursuant to the All Writs Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1651, Respondents are enjoined from transferring Petitioner from New Jersey while this habeas proceeding is pending. In addition, the Court DENIES as MOOT Petitioner's TRO. So Ordered by Judge Evelyn Padin on 2/7/2026. (bt) (Entered: 02/07/2026)
