ORDER: In its response to the show cause order, ECF No. 7, the Government asserts that Mr. Guedez is subject to detention under 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2). However, the Government acknowledges the caselaw from this Court in Chogllo Chafla v. Scott, No. 2:25-CV-00437, 2025 WL 2688541 (D. Me. Sept. 22, 2025), and Bermeo Sicha v. Bernal, No. 1:25-CV-00418, 2025 WL 2494530 (D. Me. Aug. 29, 2025), and has not submitted any additional facts or legal arguments explaining why Petitioner's case is factually or legally distinct from those cases. As such, pursuant to my reasoning in those cases, I GRANT the Petitioner's habeas petition and ORDER Respondents to immediately release him from custody, and, if they so choose, provide him with a bond hearing pursuant to section 1226(a). ECF No. 1. If Respondents choose to provide Petitioner with an individual bond hearing, it must occur no sooner than 30 days from the date of the Order in this case, unless the Petitioner consents otherwise. The Government is ENJOINED from denying Petitioner a bond hearing on the basis that 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2) applies to Petitioner. If a bond hearing is held, PETITIONER is ORDERED to file a status report within 30 days of that hearing apprising the Court of the current status of Petitioner's case, stating whether Petitioner has been given a bond hearing, and if so, the amount of bond set.
