Judge Brian E. Murphy: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered. “Respondents submit that the legal issues presented in this Petition are similar to those recently addressed by this Court in Martinez v. Hyde, No. 25-cv-11613-BEM, __ F. Supp. 3d __, 2025 WL 2084238 (D. Mass. July 24, 2025), and Romero v. Hyde, No. 25-cv-11631-BEM, __ F. Supp. 3d __, 2025 WL 2403827 (D. Mass. August 19, 2025).” Dkt. 17 at 1. In addition, Respondents state that “Petitioner appears to be a member of the class certified in Guerrero Orellana v. Moniz, Civil Action No. 25-cv-12664-PBS, 2025 WL 3687757, at *10 (D. Mass. Dec. 19, 2025).” Id. at 1 n.1. Accordingly, Petitioner is “subject to detention under 8 U.S.C. [s.] 1226(a),” Guerrero Orellana v. Moniz, 2025 WL 3687757, at *10, under which “[o]n a warrant issued by the Attorney General, an alien may be arrested and detained pending a decision on whether the alien is to be removed from the United States,” 8 U.S.C. s. 1226(a). However, Respondents failed to provide “copies of any Notices to Appear, Warrants for Arrest of Alien, or Notices of Custody Determination issued in connection with Petitioner’s current detention,” as directed by this Court. Dkt. 13. The Court therefore concludes that Petitioner does not satisfy the requirements for detention under 8 U.S.C. s. 1226(a). Accordingly, this Petition is GRANTED. The Court ORDERS that Petitioner be immediately released. (MBM) (Entered: 04/10/2026)
