TEXT ORDER. On November 21, 2025, the undersigned issued an Order granting Petitioner's request for a bond hearing with the burden of proof placed on the government, and indicating that a more detailed decision would be issued in due course clarifying the reasons for the Order. (Dkt. 13). Since then, the undersigned has issued two written decisions addressing the issues raised by Petitioner: Lieogo v. Freden, et al., No. 6:25-CV-06615 EAW, 2025 WL 3290694 (W.D.N.Y. Nov. 26, 2025) and Quituizaca Quituisaca v. Bondi et al., No. 6:25-CV-6527-EAW, 2025 WL 3264440 (W.D.N.Y. Nov. 24, 2025). The undersigned refers the parties to those decisions for the more detailed reasons behind the Order entered November 21, 2025.In addition, as noted in the letter filed by Respondents on December 2, 2025, a bond hearing was held pursuant to the undersigned's November 21, 2025 Order and bond was set. (Dkt. 15). If Petitioner has been released upon payment of bond, some of the issues raised in the petition may be moot, but further briefing is required as to the viability of any potential remaining issues. Accordingly, on or before December 8, 2025, counsel are directed to meet and confer in an attempt to reach agreement on a proposed briefing schedule for this matter. If the parties cannot agree, they may submit competing proposals on or before the same date. The submission(s) should be made by letter and shall be filed on the docket. SO ORDERED. Signed by Hon. Elizabeth A. Wolford on 12/02/2025. (MGB) (Entered: 12/02/2025)
