District Judge Angel Kelley: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered. Before the Court is Petitioner Deimer Steven Alvarez Betancur’s Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus. [Dkt. 1]. Respondents note that “the legal issues presented in this Petition are similar to those recently addressed by this Court” [Dkt. 8] in Martinez Angulo v. Moniz, No. 26-CV-10302-AK (D. Mass. Apr. 2, 2026) [Dkt. 15], in which the Court held that full due process protections apply to non-citizens who have been paroled into the United States under 8 U.S.C. § 1182(d)(5), and that the Due Process Clause is violated when non-citizens who have been paroled into the United States under 8 U.S.C. § 1182(d)(5) are subject to mandatory detention without notice or opportunity to be heard. On the facts before it, the Court does not find reason to deviate from the analysis presented in Martinez Angulo. Petitioner’s Petition [Dkt. 1] is GRANTED. Respondents are ORDERED to provide Petitioner with a bond hearing under 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a) within 10 calendar days of this Order. Respondents are ENJOINED from denying Petitioner bond on the basis that he is detained pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2). The Parties are ORDERED to file a status report within 14 calendar days of this Order stating whether Petitioner has been granted bond, and, if his request for bond was denied, the reasons for that denial.(CEH) (Entered: 04/14/2026)
