ORDER by Magistrate Judge Susan Prose on March 10, 2026. The 1 Application for Writ of Habeas Corpus (the "Petition") is GRANTED. The court notes that Respondents concede that the issues presented here are "not materially different from an issue this Court has resolved in a prior ruling in" Merchan-Pacheo v. Noem, No. 25-cv-3860-SBP, 2026 WL 88526 (D. Colo. Jan. 12, 2026). See also, e.g., Arenas v. Noem, No. 26-cv-24-SBP, 2026 WL 317562 (D. Colo. Feb. 5, 2026). And Respondents also acknowledge that "until the Tenth Circuit rules on this issue, this Court's prior ruling on this issue would lead the Court to reach the same result here if the Court adheres to" the analysis articulated in Merchan-Pacheo. Moreover, the court notes that Respondents have cited no source of law binding upon this court in cursorily arguing that the court should reconsider its prior ruling. The court agrees with Respondents, though noting that Arenas presents an even more similar case to the facts alleged here. And the court finds that Respondents have provided the court with no reason to revisit its prior rulings at this time. Accordingly, the court refers the parties to its analyses in both Arenas, 2026 WL 317562, and Merchan-Pacheo, 2026 WL 88526, finding that the analyses provided in these cases apply in this matter and that accordingly, Petitioner is entitled to a bond hearing. The court therefore GRANTS Petitioner's request and orders Respondents to provide Petitioner with an individualized bond hearing pursuant to Section 1226(a) no later than seven days from the date of this Order. Respondents are also ordered to file a status report in order to certify compliance within ten days of the issuance of this Order. If Petitioner has not been provided with such a bond hearing at the time this status report is due, he shall be immediately released. Text Only Entry (sbplc6, ) (Entered: 03/10/2026)
