MINUTE ORDER: Before the Court is Petitioner's amended habeas petition, ECF No. 6, and Respondents' Response to it, ECF No. 14 . In the response, Respondents state that they "are not submitting a brief in opposition to the Petition detailing the facts and circumstances of this case." ECF No. 14 at 1. In light of the representation in Respondents' response, as well as the Tenth Circuit's recent decision holding that § 1225's mandatory detention provision does not apply to noncitizens who are apprehended while in the interior of the United States, see generally Santillan Quiroz v. Mullin, et. al, 180 F.4th 1226, 1246 (10th Cir. 2026), the Court GRANTS Petitioner's amended habeas petition, ECF No. 6. Respondents SHALL TRANSFER Petitioner to Florida and RELEASE him from custody IMMEDIATELY, but no later than within 24 hours of this Order, with all of Petitioner's personal property returned to him, including any driver's license, passport, employment authorization documents, and/or identification cards that were taken into Respondents' possession in connection with Petitioner's detention; additionally, upon Petitioner's release, Respondents may not impose any additional conditions of release or supervision beyond those that he was subject to immediately prior to his recent detention. If arranging a flight to Florida will prolong Petitioner's detention by more than 24 hours after entry of this Order, Respondents MUST immediately notify Petitioner and inquire as to whether Petitioner would prefer to be released immediately or wait until the government has arranged his transport back to Florida. Respondents SHALL FILE a status report within TWO DAYS of this Order to certify compliance. Respondents are further ENJOINED AND RESTRAINED from re-detaining Petitioner unless Respondents demonstrate, by clear and convincing evidence at a pre-deprivation bond hearing, that Petitioner is a flight risk or danger to the community such that his physical custody is legally justified. At any such bond hearing, the government shall bear the burden of proof. The Court notes that, while Respondents contend that a bond hearing is the appropriate remedy, see ECF No. 14 at 2, this argument fail to persuade. Compare ECF No. 14 at 2, with Santillan Quiroz, 180 F.4th at 1251 n.13; see also, e.g., Singh v. Baltazar, 819 F. Supp. 3d 1247, 125051 (D. Colo. 2026). By Judge Charlotte N. Sweeney on 8/19/2026. For all non-e-filer pro se parties, a copy of this document has been sent via U.S. Mail to the mailing address of record. Text Only Entry (cnsja, ) (Entered: 08/19/2026)
