Judge Richard G. Stearns: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered. Petitioner Carlos Avelino Miranda Navarro, a native of Panama, crossed the US-Mexico border without documentation on June 4, 2022. Immigration officials arrested him in Texas the next day and processed him for expedited removal. He was paroled into the United States pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(1) on June 16, 2022, after asserting a credible fear of being removed to his country of citizenship. His parole document specifically informed him that his parole would expire automatically after one year. On May 4, 2026, Miranda Navarro was detained by immigration authorities during a routine check-in appointment. The court remains convinced that, in enacting the companion statutes, sections 1225(b)(1) and 1226(a), Congress intended to define two separate classes of detained immigrants -- those like the petitioner who have not been formally admitted to the United States because they lack documentation but were granted a deferral of expedited removal while their asylum claim is being adjudicated, and those who are detained after having established residence in the United States but are subsequently placed in removal proceedings. For the latter class, detention is discretionary, and they are eligible for release on bond while their removal proceeding is concluded or terminated. For the former expedited removal class, upon expiration of their parole, with rare exception, he or she is restored to his or her pre-parole status for whom detention is automatic. Because Miranda Navarro clearly falls in the former class, he is not entitled to a bond hearing. He is, however, entitled to prosecute his asylum claim to a final resolution and may not be removed from the United States involuntarily until that occurs. Should the asylum claim prove to be excessively delayed by the failure of the government to move expeditiously, it is then open to Miranda Navarro to refile his request for release on bond.For the foregoing reasons, the Petition for Habeas Relief is DENIED.
