MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER signed by the Honorable Matthew F. Kennelly on 11/13/2025: For the reasons stated in the accompanying Memorandum Opinion and Order, the Court grants Cabrera's petition for a writ of habeas corpus [dkt. no. 1]. Respondents must, by November 19, 2025, release Cabrera under reasonable conditions of supervision unless he has, by that date, been provided with a bond hearing before an immigration judge, at which the government shall bear the burden of justifying his continued detention, by clear and convincing evidence of dangerousness or flight risk. The Court directs the parties to file a status report on or before November 21, 2025 that addresses Cabrera's release status, including when he received a bond hearing, the result of that bond hearing, and the findings made by the immigration judge. The stay previously entered by the Court initially on October 3, 2025 and then modified on October 5, 2025 and October 6, 2025 is extended through November 26, 2025. A telephonic status hearing is set for November 24, 2025 at 8:55 AM, using call-in number 650-479-3207, access code 2305-915-8729. (mk) (Entered: 11/13/2025)
