TEXT ORDER - Currently pending before the Court is a pro se petition for a writ of habeas corpus. ECF No. 1 . Petitioner appears to assert that he is unlawfully detained under 8 U.S.C. § 1225. See, e.g., ECF No. 1 at 4; see also ECF No. 6 (respondents' answer). Under this Court's recent decisions in Rivera Zumba v. Bondi, No. 25-14626 (KSH), 2025 WL 2753496 (D.N.J. Sept. 26, 2025) (interpreting § 1225(b)(2)), Rivas Rodriguez v. Rokosky, No. 25-17419 (CPO), 2025 WL 3485628 (D.N.J. Dec. 3, 2025) (interpreting § 1225(b)(1)), and other recent decisions in this District interpreting § 1225, the Court holds that Petitioner is subject to detention under § 1226(a). It is therefore ORDERED that, 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 in accordance with 8 C.F.R. 236.1(c)(8) and (d)(1). Within three (3) days of that bond hearing, Respondents shall file a written notice of the outcome of that hearing with this Court. So Ordered by Judge Claire C. Cecchi on 6/5/2026.
