ORDER: On March 10, 2026, the Court held a hearing as to Petitioner's motion 2 for temporary restraining order seeking, inter alia, the grant of the petition for writ of habeas corpus (the "Petition") and Petitioner's release from United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE") detention. During the proceeding, the Court heard arguments by both Petitioner and Respondents. Upon due consideration, the Court finds that Petitioner's detention was governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1226 and not, as Respondents urge, 8 U.S.C. § 1225. As such, pursuant to § 1226, Petitioner was entitled to an individualized custody determination. Petitioner did not receive one. And, in view of the considerations set forth in Mathews v. Eldridge, 424 U.S. 319 (1976), Respondents' failure to provide Petitioner with a pre-detention process, notice, or opportunity to respond was in contravention of Petitioner's due process rights guaranteed under the United States Constitution. For these reasons, and as will be set forth more fully in a forthcoming memorandum, the Petition is GRANTED, in part. Specifically, the Court grants Claim Two of the Petition on the grounds that Petitioner was denied due process in violation of the Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution. Respondents are directed to immediately release Petitioner from ICE detention, accordingly. The Court reserves determination on Petitioner's remaining claims. Ordered by Judge LaShann DeArcy Hall on 3/13/2026. (TLH)
