Judge Indira Talwani: ELECTRONIC ORDER: In their Opposition to Petitioner's Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus [ 6 ], Respondents do not contend that Petitioner is subject to expedited removal proceedings or mandatory detention and do not contest Petitioner's eligibility to seek bond in Immigration Court. Id. at 12. Respondents contend, however, that Petitioner has failed to exhaust his administrative remedies, "which allow him access to a bond hearing before the Immigration Court to seek release[.]" Id. at 10. In reply, Petitioner contends that his detention is unlawful because he was detained without a warrant. Reply to Opp'n 12 [ 7 ]. Respondents have now filed a copy of the warrant, dated February 26, 2026, for Petitioner's arrest. Notice Ex. A, at 1 [ 8 ]. Respondents have also filed a copy of the Notice of Custody Determination, which states that Petitioner was detained by the Department of Homeland Security and that Petitioner did "request an immigration judge review of this custody determination" on February 26, 2026. Id. at 2.Where Petitioner requested a bond hearing a week ago and Respondents concede he is entitled to one, Petitioner's Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus [ 1 ] is GRANTED. At the earliest possible date, and in any event no later than March 9, 2026, Petitioner must be provided a bond hearing pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a). Any decision by the immigration judge to retain Petitioner in custody following a bond hearing pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a) shall set forth the reasons for the continued detention. Respondents shall file a status report no later than March 11, 2026.(Talwani, Indira) (Entered: 03/05/2026)
