TEXT ORDER. The Government has conceded that Petitioner is entitled to a bond hearing under Da Cunha v. Freden, 175 F.4th 61 (2d Cir. 2026). Dkt. 11. Because Petitioner's detention has not become prolonged under Velasco Lopez v. Decker, 978 F.3d 842 (2d Cir. 2020), that case does not require burden-shifting at the bond hearing. Accordingly, Respondents' motion to dismiss (Dkt. 9) is denied, and Respondents are ordered to provide Petitioner with a bond hearing under the relevant regulations by no later than June 29, 2026. The Clerk of Court shall close this case. SO ORDERED. Issued by Hon. John L. Sinatra, Jr., on 6/15/2026. (KEF)Clerk to follow up. (Entered: 06/15/2026)
