Judge Richard G. Stearns: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered. The parties agree that petitioner is being detained pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a). The government does not identify any provision in the governing statute authorizing it to deny petitioner the bond hearing to which detainees under § 1226(a) are usually entitled. The court accordingly orders that defendants facilitate a bond hearing for petitioner before an Immigration Judge (consistent with the standards outlined in Hernandez-Lara v. Lyons, 10 F.4th 19 (1st Cir. 2021)), as soon as practicable, but in no case later than Wednesday, May 6, 2026.(RGS, law3) (Entered: 04/29/2026)
