MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER - the record clearly establishes that Petitioner entered the United States on December 7, 2023, through the CBP One process and was issued an I-94 parole authorizing his admission to the United States through December 7, 2025. Although the parole date has passed, there is no evidence that Petitioner has been served with a Notice to Appear denying him admission into the United States. For the reasons explained above, Respondents are ORDERED to either file a response by July 7, 2026, explaining why Petitioner is subject to mandatory detention under § 1225(b)(2) or to provide Petitioner a bond hearing by July 7, 2026. The parties are further ORDERED to file a status report with the court by July 14, 2026. (Signed by Judge Sim Lake) Parties notified. (sra4)
