ORDER denying 1 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus. After reviewing the transcript from Petitioner's bond hearing held on March 5, 2026, the Court finds that the hearing was fundamentally fair. The requirements of a fundamentally fair hearing are that Petitioner: "(1) is entitled to factfinding based on a record produced before the decisionmaker and disclosed to him or her; (2) must be allowed to make arguments on his or her own behalf; and (3) has the right to an individualized determination of his [or her] interests." Ghanem v. Warden Essex Cnty. Corr. Facility, No. 21-1908, 2022 WL 574624, at *2 (3d Cir. Feb. 25, 2022) (quoting Kamara v. Att'y Gen. of U.S., 420 F.3d 202, 211 (3d Cir. 2005)). The Court finds that these requirements were met. To the extent that the IJ made factual errors, they do not create a due process violation. Signed by Judge J. Nicholas Ranjan on 4/28/2026.
