/// ENDORSED ORDER. Text of Order: The government does not dispute that, if this court was to apply Judge Elliott's reasoning in Destino, it would order respondents to provide petitioner with a bond hearing before an IJ. The court finds Destino persuasive and applies it. The petition for a writ of habeas corpus (doc. no. 1) is granted. Respondents are ordered to provide petitioner with a constitutionally adequate bond hearing before an IJ within 7 days. On or before March 3, 2026, respondents shall file a status report in this court describing the result of the bond hearing. So Ordered by Judge Landya B. McCafferty.(de)
