TEXT ORDER: Petitioners allege they are 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 Petitioners are 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 16, 2026, Respondents shall provide Petitioners with individualized bond hearings before an immigration judge who shall assess whether they present 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 each hearing with this Court. If Respondents contend that Petitioners' 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 13, 2026, and Petitioners shall file a reply by 5:00 p.m. on February 13, 2026. Petitioners shall not be transferred from New Jersey during the pendency of these proceedings. So Ordered by Judge Karen M. Williams on February 9, 2026. (Williams, Karen) (Entered: 02/09/2026)
