Judge Brian E. Murphy: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered. Respondents submit that should the Court follow its reasoning in Rincon v. Hyde, 2025 WL 3122784 (D. Mass. Nov. 7, 2025) and Tenemasa-Lema v. Hyde, 2025 WL 3280555 (D. Mass. Nov. 25, 2025), the Court would likely find that... ICE detention authority remains 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2), but that, in this instance, Petitioners detention without a bond hearing violates his due process rights. Dkt. 7 at 2. Therefore, Respondents argue, the appropriate relief is a bond hearing with Immigration Court. Id. Petitioner disputes that 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2) applies, and argues instead his detention is pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a), Dkt. 1 at 13, under which he would also be entitled to a bond hearing, see Romero v. Hyde, 795 F. Supp. 3d 271, 281 (D. Mass. 2025). Accordingly, the Court need not resolve the statutory dispute at this juncture and GRANTS the Petition in part. The Court ORDERS that, by July 1, 2026, Petitioner receive a bond hearing under 8 U.S.C. § 1226 to consider the merits of his release. Respondents are ordered to file a status report by July 2, 2026, following Petitioner's bond hearing.(CAM) Modified on 6/24/2026 to include deadlines. (CAM). (Entered: 06/24/2026)
