TEXT ORDER. Respondents concede that Petitioner is detained pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a) under Second Circuit caselaw. See Da Cunha v. Freden, 175 F.4th 61 (2d Cir. 2026); Dkt. 5 . Because Petitioner's detention has not become prolonged under Velasco Lopez v. Decker, 978 F.3d 842 (2d Cir. 2020), that case does not require burden-shifting at the bond hearing. Accordingly, Respondents are ordered to provide Petitioner with a bond hearing under the relevant regulations by no later than July 7, 2026. Because this order resolves the petition and terminates these proceedings, Petitioner's motion for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction (Dkt. 2 ) is denied as moot. The Clerk of Court shall close this case. SO ORDERED. Issued by Hon. John L. Sinatra, Jr. on 06/23/2026. (TDM)Clerk to Follow up (Entered: 06/23/2026)
