TEXT ORDER: Petitioner JUAN CARLOS TIRADO CARABALI is a citizen of Ecuador who allegedly entered the United States in 2022 and is in asylum proceedings. (ECF No. 1, Petition at 1, 22.) He allegedly has no criminal history and was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE") in Linden, New Jersey on or about April 23, 2026. (Id. at 2, 23.) He has filed a habeas Petition pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 challenging his detention without bond by immigration authorities who are purportedly detaining him under 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b). In Mejia v. Cabezas, No. 25-CV-17094, 2025 WL 3294405, at *2 (D.N.J. Nov. 14, 2025), this Court found that a similarly situated noncitizen could only be detained under 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a). It is, therefore, ORDERED that in accordance with 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a), within 7 days of the date of entry of this Text Order, Respondents shall provide Petitioner with an individualized bond hearing before an immigration judge who shall assess whether she presents a flight risk or a danger to the community, pursuant to 8 C.F.R. § 236.1(c)(8), (d)(1). It is further ORDERED that Petitioner's counsel shall have notice of the bond hearing, a reasonable opportunity to prepare, and be permitted to reschedule the hearing outside the seven-day period, if necessary, without seeking this Court's intervention. It is further ORDERED that within three (3) days of that bond hearing, Respondents shall file a written notice of the outcome of that hearing with this Court and request to close this matter. Alternatively, if Respondents contend that this case is factually or legally distinguishable, they shall file an expedited answer within five (5) days of the date of entry of this Text Order, and Petitioner may file a reply within three (3) days thereafter. The Text Order at ECF No. 3, which temporarily stays Petitioner's transfer, shall REMAIN IN EFFECT while this matter is pending, and the Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order at ECF No. 2, which also seeks to stay his transfer, shall be terminated. So Ordered by Judge Robert Kirsch on 06/16/2026. (pdm) (Entered: 06/16/2026)
