ORDER AMENDING 3 Case Management Order. The Court has reviewed the Petition and supporting materials, and finds that the threshold issue concerns whether Petitioner is entitled to a bond hearing because he is subject to discretionary detention pursuant to §1226(a) as opposed to mandatory detention pursuant to §1225(b). Based on its prior decisions on this issue, including Gbamoi v. Oddo et al., Civil Action No. 26-cv-108-CCW, ECF No. 10 (W.D. Pa. Feb. 20, 2026) and Orellana Rivas v. Oddo et al., Civil Action No. 26-cv-246-CCW, ECF No. 8 (W.D. Pa. Feb. 23, 2026), the Court tentatively intends to grant the Petition to the extent it requests a bond hearing. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the 3 Case Management Order provisions regarding the timing and substance of Respondents' Response to the Petition are amended as follows: If Respondents believe that there are factual or legal differences between this case and the other cases in which the Court has decided the issue, then they shall file a response to the Petition on or before 3/10/26. Responses are limited to 25 pages, double-spaced. If Respondents' positions are the same as in the prior cases in which this issue has been raised and decided by the Court, they shall simply state as much in the 3/10/26 response, cite to any response or brief previously filed on the issue in this Court, and their positions shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference into the record. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the provision of the 3 Case Management Order setting a 30 day response time period is hereby VACATED. Signed by Judge Christy Criswell Wiegand on 3/3/2026. Text-only entry; no PDF document will issue. This text-only entry constitutes the Order of the Court or Notice on the matter. (bjw) (Entered: 03/03/2026)
