ORDER by Chief District Judge Kenneth J. Gonzales. The Court has considered Petitioner's Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus, Doc. 1, the Government's Response, Doc. 7, and the Government's Status Report, Doc. 14. There appears to be no dispute as to the factual representations in the Petition, therefore the Court adopts Petitioner's statement of the facts as the Court's own. For the reasons stated in Oliva Rodas v. U.S. Immigr. & Customs Enf't, 2026 WL 2163442, at *2 (D.N.M.), the Court grants the Petition. Within seven (7) business days of this Order, the Government shall provide Petitioner with a bond hearing where Petitioner bears the burden of proving by a preponderance of the evidence that conditions of release would adequately address any risk of flight or danger to the community. Should the Government fail to provide Petitioner a bond hearing within seven (7) business days, it must release Petitioner. The Government shall file a status report within ten (10) business days of this Order certifying compliance. [THIS IS A TEXT-ONLY ENTRY. THERE ARE NO DOCUMENTS ATTACHED.] (tah) (Entered: 08/21/2026)
