ORDER - GRANTING PETITION FOR HABEAS CORPUS; Jorman Jose Silva Sanchez ("Petitioner") is a non citizen who entered the United States through its territorial border in Texas in March of 2024 without inspection. Dkt. 1; dkt. 1-2. In mid- September of 2025, Petitioner was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE") agents in Chicago, Illinois as part of a "targeted immigration enforcement operation." Petitioner now petitions the Court for a writ of h abeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2241, seeking release from custody or a prompt bond hearing pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a) as well as declaratory relief. Respondents' detention of Petitioner without an individualized bond hearing viol ates the "laws or treaties of the United States." 28 U.S.C. § 2241(c)(3). Thus, Petitioner's petition for writ of habeas corpus is granted to the extent, that within seven days of this order, Respondents must either provide Peti tioner with an individualized bond hearing pursuant to § 1226(a) before an IJ or release Petitioner from custody, under the most recent conditions of supervision. Respondents must document that they have provided Petitioner with a bond hearing or release and file notice with the Court within four days of either action. The clerk is directed to enter final judgment. *** SEE ORDER ***. Signed by Chief District Judge James Russell Sweeney, II on 12/30/2025. (CKM)
