Order on Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus

Apr 09, 2026

TEXT ORDER. Before the Court is the Petitioner, Wilmer Alexander Vinasco Ramirez's, Petition for habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2241. (ECF No. 1 .) Upon review, the Court agrees with the Government that this case presents the same legal issues considered in Tomas Elias v. Hyde, 25-cv-540-JJM-AEM, and the Court reaches the same result here. Accordingly, the Court GRANTS the Petition as follows. The Government is ORDERED to provide the Petitioner with a bond hearing before an Immigration Judge pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a) no sooner than 30 days from the date of this Order. The Government is ORDERED to provide the Petitioner and his attorney with adequate notice of the date and time of that hearing. Further, the Court ORDERS the Government to release the Petitioner immediately pending the bond hearing. The Court permits the Petitioner's transfer to effectuate his release and the return of his property. The Government shall set minimal release conditions that will reasonably assure the Petitioner's appearance at the bond hearing. Finally, the Court ORDERS the Government to file a status report within five days of the Petitioner's bond hearing, stating whether he has been granted bond and, if his request for bond was denied, the specific reasons for that denial. So Ordered by District Judge Mary S. McElroy on 4/9/2026. (Potter, Carrie)
