TEXT ORDER : This matter is before the Court on Petitioner's motion for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (D.E. No. 1 ("Petition" or "Pet.")). The Court ordered Respondents to file an expedited answer to the Petition. (D.E. No. 8 ("Order to Answer")). The Order to Answer (D.E. No. 8 ) is VACATED. Pursuant to the All Writs Act, see 28 U.S.C. § 1651(a), Respondents SHALL NOT TRANSFER Petitioner from his current location, and SHALL NOT REMOVE Petitioner from the United States, pending further order of this Court. According to Petitioner, Respondents are presently detaining Petitioner under the mandatory detention provisions of 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b), pursuant to a July 8, 2025 Department of Homeland Security memorandum and the decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals in In Matter of Yajure Hurtado, 29 I. & N. Dec. 216 (2025). (Pet. 55-56). Under this Court's recent decision in Diaz Rudecindo v. Florentino, No. 25-16942, 2025 WL 3470299 (D.N.J. Dec. 3, 2025), the Court holds that Petitioner is subject to detention under 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a), which requires an opportunity to seek bond, id. at *2-4. Specifically, it appears that: (i) Petitioner has resided continuously in the United States since he crossed the United States border on or about August 10, 2023; (ii) shortly after he crossed the border, he was encountered and taken into custody by U.S. Border Patrol agents, processed, released, and permitted to enter the United States; (iii) he attended all scheduled check-in appointments and immigration court hearings; and (iv) on October 15, 2025, and in the interior of the United States, Petitioner was arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents when he was leaving a master calendar hearing in his immigration court proceeding. (Pet. 22, 25-32). Based on these alleged facts, Diaz Rudecindo controls this present matter. Rudecindo Diaz, 2025 WL 3470299, at *4. In accordance with 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a), within seven (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 he presents a flight risk or a danger to the community. Within three (3) days of that bond hearing, Respondents shall file a written notice of the outcome of that hearing with this Court. If Respondents contend that Diaz Rudicendo does not control, 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 of the date of filing of Respondents' expedited answer. So Ordered by Judge Esther Salas on 12/11/2025. (ek) (Entered: 12/11/2025)
