Order on Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus

May 20, 2026

TEXT ORDER. Before the Court is Marcelo Martins Dias' Petition for habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2241. (ECF No. 1 .) Upon review, the Court agrees with the Respondents that this case presents the same legal issues considered in Tomas Elias v. Hyde, 25-cv-540-JJM-AEM, and the Court reaches the same result here. Accordingly, the Court GRANTS the Petitioner's habeas petition (ECF No. 1 ) as follows. The Respondents are ORDERED to provide the Petitioner with a bond hearing before an Immigration Judge pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a) within seven (7) days of this Order. The Respondents are ordered to provide the Petitioner and his attorney with adequate notice of the date and time of that hearing. Finally, the Court ORDERS the Respondents to file a status report within one (1) day of the Petitioner's bond hearing, stating whether he has been granted bond and, if his request for bond was denied, the specific reasons for that denial. So Ordered by District Judge Mary S. McElroy on 5/20/2026. (Potter, Carrie)
