Jan 14, 2026
MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS of the Honorable Judge Cristina D. Silva on 1/14/2026. As ordered, the respondents filed a status report advising that Alexis Jesus Rojas Medina was granted bond and released from custody. ECF No. 17 . Because the Department of Homeland Security waived appealing the immigration judge's decision, the respondents believe that the case can be closed. Id. at 2. The report does not include the petitioner's position on the matter; however, I am inclined to close it. If the petitioner is opposed, he must file a status report by January 20, 2026. Otherwise, this case will close on that same date. (no image attached) (Copies have been distributed pursuant to the NEF - JLB) (Entered: 01/14/2026)
