The Court is in receipt of Respondents' 4 Return, in which "Respondents acknowledge that Petitioner... is entitled to an order from this Court directing a bond hearing be held pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a)." But Petitioner seeks immediate release based on violation of his due process rights, (see ECF No. 1 Request for Relief para. C), and the Court specifically ordered Respondents to respond to Petitioner's allegations that "he was not provided notice or an opportunity to be heard prior to his re-detention on September 10, 2025." (See ECF No. 2 .) Although the Court could construe Respondents' failure to address Petitioner's due process argument "as consent to the granting of the [requested relief] pursuant to Civil Local Rule 7.1(f)(3)(c)[,]" see Civil Standing Order § III.A.2, the Court will permit Respondents one final opportunity to respond to Petitioner's due process argument. Accordingly, Respondents MAY FILE a supplemental return on or before March 6, 2026, addressing whether ICE officials complied with applicable regulations when Petitioner was re-detained.
