TEXT ORDER re: 1 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus. On November 12, 2025, this Court issued orders in four separate cases commenced pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (Quituizaca Quituisaca v. Bondi, 25-cv-6527; Najeem v. Freden, 25-cv-6584; Mendoza v. Bondi, 25-cv-954; and Martinez v. Bondi, 25-cv-6508) finding that noncitizens who are present in the United States without having been admitted or paroled are not subject to mandatory detention under 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2) but instead are subject to detention under section 1226. Accordingly, Respondents are hereby ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE on or before November 24, 2025, why, in light of those decisions, the petition in this case should not be granted to the extent it seeks a bond hearing, and the Court should not order that Petitioner receive a bond hearing at which the government bears the burden to demonstrate, by clear and convincing evidence, that Petitioner is a danger to the community or a flight risk and at which the immigration judge must consider non-bond alternatives to detention or, if setting a bond, Petitioner's ability to pay. Should Respondents fail to timely respond to this order to show cause, the Court will grant the petition to the extent it seeks a bond hearing. Further, the Clerk's Office is directed to serve a copy of the petition and this Text Order electronically via a Notice of Electronic Filing to the United States Attorney's Office, Western District of New York at USANYW-Immigration-Habeas@usdoj.gov. SO ORDERED. Signed by Hon. Elizabeth A. Wolford on 11/18/2025. (MGB)Clerk to Follow up (Entered: 11/18/2025)
