TEXT ORDER: The Court ordered that a bond hearing take place on or before June 22 at noon, unless the Respondents explained before then why another course was appropriate. See ECF 3. And the Court directed the Respondents to "immediately file a letter on the Court's public docket" if any Court order was violated. Id. No bond hearing took place before the deadline, see ECF 6, no explanation was provided, and the Respondents only addressed the referenced violation after the Court issued another order seeking additional information. See ECF 8. The Respondents' most recent filing now argues that the Petitioner's detention is lawful under 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(1). See ECF 9 at 2. The Court has rejected this argument several times in closely similar circumstances. See Text Order, Caixeta Goncalves v. Soto, No. 26-2588 (D.N.J. Apr. 6, 2026) (ECF 10); Text Order, Yuqui Villa v. Bondi, No. 26-3310 (D.N.J. Mar. 30, 2026) (ECF 7); Pineda Cornelio v. Soto, No. 26-929 (D.N.J. Apr. 6, 2026) (ECF 11); Morocho Morocho v. Blanche, No. 26-3642 (D.N.J. Apr. 13, 2026) (ECF 9). In light of the above, the Petitioner shall be released immediately from immigration custody. He should not have to wait in custody for an immigration-court bond hearing because the Respondents did not timely comply with the Court's order. The Court's release order will expire of its own accord after an immigration-court bond hearing takes place. The Respondents shall file a status update letter on or before June 25 at noon. So Ordered by Judge Michael E. Farbiarz on 6/24/2026. (ro, ) (Entered: 06/24/2026)
