Order on Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus
May 21, 2026
TEXT ORDER: The Petitioner has filed a Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (ECF No. 1 ) arguing that his arrest and continued detention by immigration officials is unlawful, and that he must be released or given a bond hearing before an immigration judge under 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a). The Government responded to the Petition stating that Petitioner is subject to mandatory detention under 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b) and that he is not entitled to release or a bond hearing. Upon review of the parties' papers, the exhibits attached thereto, and the applicable law, the Court finds that Petitioner is not subject to mandatory detention under 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2) and is entitled to a bond hearing under § 1226(a). See Mendes v. Hyde, No. 25-CV-627-JJM-AEM, 2025 WL 3496546 (D.R.I. Dec. 5, 2025). Therefore, the instant Petition for Writ of Habeas is GRANTED. The Respondents are hereby ORDERED to provide Petitioner with a bond hearing under § 1226(a) within 7 to 10 days of this Order. The parties shall provide a status report to this Court within 48 hours of the conclusion of that hearing stating whether the Petitioner's request for bond was granted or denied and, if denied, the reasons for the denial. So Ordered by District Judge Melissa R. DuBose on 5/21/2026. (Urizandi, Nissheneyra)
