ORDER re: 6 Motion to Partially Lift No-Transfer Order On May 6, 2026, Alino Mapuata Kalemba filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus alleging his detention violates federal law and the United States Constitution. ECF No. 1. That same day, the Court issued an emergency seventy-two-hour stay blocking Respondents from transferring Mr. Kalemba outside the District of Maine. ECF No. 3. On May 7, 2026, Respondents filed an emergency motion requesting permission to transfer Mr. Kalemba to a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Enforcement and Removal Operations facility in Plymouth, Massachusetts, because it is better equipped to handle longer-term detention of individuals pending hearings before an immigration judge. ECF No. 6. Based on Respondents' representations that there are limited suitable detention facilities in Maine for Mr. Kalemba and its further representation that the Court will have ongoing jurisdiction over the case, the Court hereby modifies the May 6, 2026, emergency stay to permit Mr. Kalemba's transfer to the District of Massachusetts consistent with Respondents' representations in its emergency transfer motion. Respondents are enjoined from transferring Mr. Kalemba outside the District of Massachusetts and District of Maine without further order. By JUDGE STACEY D. NEUMANN. (mjlt) (Entered: 05/08/2026)

ORDER re: 1 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus: On May 6, 2026, Alino Mapuata Kalemba filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus alleging his detention violates federal law and the United States Constitution. ECF No. 1. That same day, the Court ordered Respondents to show cause as to why Mr. Kalemba's detention was not unlawful. ECF No. 5. On May 7, 2026, the Respondents responded to the show cause order, conceding that 8 U.S.C. § 1226 applies to Mr. Kalemba and that he has an upcoming bond hearing scheduled in front of an immigration judge on May 18, 2026. ECF No. 7. Where the parties agree that Petitioner is detained pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1226 and is therefore entitled to a bond hearing in which the Government carries the burden of proving (1) by clear and convincing evidence that he poses a danger to the community or (2) by a preponderance of the evidence that he poses a flight risk, Hernandez-Lara v. Lyons, 10 F.4th 19, 41 (1st Cir. 2021), and where Respondents have provided evidence that Petitioner would receive such a hearing on May 18, 2026, the Petition [ECF No. 1] is DENIED without prejudice. The Government is ENJOINED from denying Petitioner a bond hearing on the basis that 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2) applies to Petitioner. The Government is ORDERED to file a status report within 30 days of the bond hearing apprising the Court as to whether Petitioner has been granted bond and if so, the amount of bond set.
