Judge Richard G. Stearns: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered re 6 Response filed by Kristi L. Noem, Todd M Lyons, Patricia Hyde, Joseph D. McDonald, Jr., Sirce Owen, Pamela Bondi. Petitioner Isai Colindres Gonzalez challenges his immigration detention and seeks immediate release or a bond hearing. The government maintains its position that because Petitioner is an applicant for admission, which means 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2)(A) authorizes Petitioner's detention, and the due process clause provides Petitioner only those rights conferred by statute. The court agrees with Judge Saris's well-reasoned analysis in Guerrero Orellana v. Moniz, --- F. Supp. 3d ----, 2025 WL 2809996 (D. Mass. Oct. 3, 2025), concluding that, when a non-criminal noncitizen residing within the United States is detained, his detention is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a) rather than 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2). See Guerrero Orellana, 2025 WL 2809996, at *5 (citing the overwhelming number of courts, both within in this district and elsewhere, that have reached the same conclusion). Accordingly, the court orders that ICE facilitate a bond hearing for petitioner Isai Colindres Gonzalez before an Immigration Judge (consistent with the standards outlined in Hernandez-Lara v. Lyons, 10 F.4th 19 (1st Cir. 2021)), as soon as practicable, but in no case more than nine days from the date of this Order (by 12/4/25 ).(MZ) (Entered: 11/25/2025)
