District Judge Angel Kelley: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered. Before the Court is Petitioner Custodio De Sousa’s Amended Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus. [Dkt. 8]. The facts presented in the instant Petition appear materially indistinguishable from Amaya Sanchez v. Moniz et al., No. 25-CV-12806-AK (D. Mass. Oct. 10, 2025) [Dkt. 10], in which the Court joined other sessions of this Court, and other courts across the country, in holding that the arrest and detention of noncitizens within the United States is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a). On the facts before it, the Court does not find reason to deviate from the analysis presented in Amaya Sanchez. Accordingly, the Court ORDERS Respondents to show cause, no later than 7 calendar days from the date of this Order, why the facts of this case differ from those in Amaya Sanchez. Should Respondents claim the facts differ, Petitioner shall have 3 calendar days to respond.Should the parties agree that the facts do not differ in any material aspect, this Court will find that Petitioner is subject to 8 U.S.C. § 1226’s discretionary detention framework and entitled to a bond hearing. As a result. Petitioner’s Amended Petition [Dkt. 8] will be GRANTED. Respondents will be ORDERED to provide Petitioner with a bond hearing under 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a). Respondents will be ENJOINED from denying Petitioner bond on the basis that he is detained pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2). (MAL) (Entered: 10/18/2025)
