Judge Allison D. Burroughs: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered. Before the Court is Petitioner Luis Antonio Loja Mayancela’s petition for writ of habeas corpus. [ECF No. 1 ]. The petition was initially assigned to Judge Saylor, who reassigned it to this session as related to Petitioner’s previous action in this session, Loja Mayancela v. Hyde et al., No. 26-cv-11105-ADB (D. Mass. Apr. 22, 2026). [ECF No. 2 ]; [ECF No. 6 ]. Before the case was reassigned, Respondents filed their response, in which they “submit that the legal issues presented in this Petition are similar to those recently addressed by [Judge Saylor] in De Andrade v. Moniz, [802 F. Supp. 3d 325 (D. Mass. 2025)].” [ECF No. 5 at 1]. They further acknowledge that “[s]hould the Court follow [the] reasoning in De Andrade, it would reach the same result here, namely that Petitioner’s detention is controlled by 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a).” [Id.]. On the facts of this case, upon review of Judge Saylor’s analysis in De Andrade, and in light of Respondents’ abbreviated filing, the Court does not find reason to deviate from the approach taken in De Andrade. Petitioner is subject to 8 U.S.C. § 1226’s discretionary detention framework and, accordingly, entitled to a bond hearing. He has not received such a hearing, so his detention is unlawful.Petitioner’s petition, [ECF No. 1 ], is GRANTED. Respondents are ORDERED to provide Petitioner with a bond hearing within 10 days of this order. Respondents are ENJOINED from denying Petitioner bond on the basis that he is detained pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2). Respondents are ORDERED to file a status report within 14 days of this order stating whether Petitioner has been granted bond, and, if his request for bond was denied, the reasons for that denial.The clerk is directed to enter judgment in favor of Petitioner. Petitioner, whose petition requested an award of fees under the Equal Access to Justice Act, 28 U.S.C. § 2412, [ECF No. 1 at 7], is reminded that, under the EAJA, any application for fees is due within 30 days from final judgment within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. § 2412(d)(2)(G), 28 U.S.C. § 2412(d)(1)(B).(CAM) (Entered: 05/29/2026)
