ORDER OF COURT. IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the 1 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus is DISMISSED. This is Petitioner's second habeas petition before the Court. At Case No. 3:26-cv-0061, the Court afforded him habeas relief, and ordered that he receive an individualized bond hearing before a neutral immigration judge pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1226. (Case No. 3:26-cv-00422, ECF No. 6). That bond hearing occurred on 04/29/2026, and the immigration judge determined that Petitioner was a flight risk. (Id. at ECF No. 8-1). This determination is unreviewable under 8 U.S.C. § 1226(e). The Court does not have the authority to sit as an appellate court over the determination of the immigration judge and to question his substantive determination on bond. Nevertheless, 05/22/2026, Petitioner filed the instant second habeas petition, which is nearly identical to his first habeas petition. In sum, both petitions challenge the legality of Petitioner's detention and seek his immediate release or, in the alternative, a bond hearing. As the Petitioner has already received habeas relief and an individualized bond hearing, the Court dismisses this action as an abuse of the writ. The Clerk of Court is directed to mark this CASE CLOSED.Signed by Judge William S. Stickman on 07/09/2026. Text-only entry; no PDF document will issue.
