TEXT-ONLY ORDER: The Court ORDERS that Ba's habeas petition (ECF No. 1 ) is GRANTED IN PART and DENIED IN PART. The Court FURTHER ORDERS that the government shall: (1) on or before April 29, 2026, provide Ba with an individualized bond hearing under 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a) before a different Immigration Judge than the one who presided over Bas March 12, 2026 bond hearing; at the new hearing, the government shall bear the burden of proof by clear and convincing evidence justifying Bas continued detention; or (2) immediately release Ba if he is not provided such an individualized bond hearing on or before April 29, 2026. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the government shall file a status report with this Court within 48 hours of Ba's bond hearing or release, but not later than 3:00 p.m. on May 1, 2026, certifying compliance with this order. The status report shall inform the Court whether and when Ba was released from detention or provided with a bond hearing under 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a). If the bond hearing under 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a) does occur, the status report shall include when the bond hearing occurred, if bond was granted or denied, and if denied, the reasons for that denial. Finally, IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the government shall produce a transcript of such individualized bond hearing no later than two weeks after the bond hearing is conducted, unless Ba is immediately released without such individualized bond hearing or is released pursuant to the individualized bond hearing. Signed by District Judge Jonathan J.C. Grey. (SOso)
