TEXT ORDER dismissing 2 Motion for Order to Show Cause This matter comes before the Court upon Petitioner Hector Guerrero Sanchez' verified Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 ("Petition" Dkt. No. 1), challenging his detention by immigration authorities under 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2) as unlawful. Under this Court's recent decision in Marca Lemu v. Soto, No. 25-cv-17098 (RMB), 2025 WL 3470298 (D.N.J. Dec. 3, 2025) (interpreting § 1225(b)(2)), as well as other recent decisions in this District interpreting § 1225(b)(2), see e.g., Rivera Zumba v. U.S. Attorney Gen., No. 25-CV-14626(KSH), 2025 WL 2753496, at *9 (D.N.J. Sept. 26, 2025), the Court holds that Petitioner is subject to discretionary detention under § 1226(a), which entitles him to a bond hearing. Therefore, it is ORDERED that the Petition (Dkt. No. 1) is GRANTED. In accordance with 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a), within seven days of this Order, Respondents shall provide Petitioner with an individualized bond hearing before an immigration judge who shall assess whether Petitioner presents a flight risk or a danger to the community pursuant to 8 C.F.R. § 236.1(c)(8), (d)(1). Within three days of that bond hearing, Respondents shall file a written notice of the outcome of that hearing with this Court. Petitioner's motion for order to show cause (Dkt. No. 2) is DISMISSED as moot. SO ORDERED by Chief Judge Renee Marie Bumb on 02/22/2026. (Costigan, Roberta) (Entered: 02/22/2026)
