ORDER Before the Court is Petitioner's 1 Application for Writ of Habeas Corpus. This Court ordered Respondents to address in its Response a factually and legally similar case decided by this Court, Rivas v. Baltazar, No. 1:26-cv-00442-SKC, 2026 WL 444732 (D. Colo. Feb. 17, 2026). In much appreciated candor to the Court, Respondents acknowledge that this case is not materially different from Rivas. Dkt. 6, p.2. Accordingly, this Court adopts and incorporates its reasoning from Rivas in full. Furthermore, because Respondents have offered no lawful basis for his detention, the Court concludes Petitioner is entitled to immediate release.Therefore, IT IS ORDERED that Petitioner's 1 Application for Writ of Habeas Corpus is GRANTED.IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that:1. The automatic stay regulation, 8 C.F.R. § 1003.19(i)(2), violates Mr. Morales-Valerio's procedural due process rights under the Fifth Amendment;2. Once Mr. Morales-Valerio posts his $5,000 bond, Respondents shall immediately release him from custody. Respondents may not impose an ankle monitor or any other condition not specifically imposed in writing by the immigration judge. See Batz Barreno v. Baltasar, No. 25-cv-03017-GPG-TPO, 2026 WL 120253, at *2 (D. Colo. Jan. 15, 2026); 3. To effectuate the purpose of this Court's Order and allow Mr. Morales-Valerio to return home, Respondents are also temporarily enjoined from detaining Mr. Morales-Valerio under 8 U.S.C. § 1226 for a period of fourteen days; and4. Respondents SHALL FILE a status report within FIVE DAYS of this Order certifying compliance. SO ORDERED by Judge S. Kato Crews on 6/16/2026. Text Only Entry (skclc4) (Entered: 06/16/2026)
