Answer/Response to Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus - 2241

#14

Jun 29, 2026

District Judge Leo T. Sorokin: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered. The Court has reviewed the petition and the answer filed today, in which the respondents acknowledge that Petitioner is eligible for a bond hearing conducted pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a) but nevertheless urge the Court to deny the petition for reasons including Petitioner’s alleged failure to exhaust. See Doc. No. 13. As documents submitted by the respondents show, Petitioner requested a bond hearing before an immigration judge in writing on June 22, 2026. Doc. No. 13-3. The Court infers from his filing of a habeas petition the next day that Petitioner had not yet been informed by the respondents that his written request for a bond hearing would be honored by the respondents. It was reasonable, then, for Petitioner to seek a Court order requiring this relief. The respondents have now noted that a bond hearing has been scheduled for July 6, 2026. Doc. No. 13 at 1 n.1. In light of that representation and the respondents’ concession that Petitioner is entitled to a bond hearing held pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1226, it is hereby ORDERED that the legal standard governing Petitioner’s scheduled hearing is as established by the First Circuit in Hernandez-Lara v. Lyons; that, should the immigration judge find that the government has met its burden of proof as to flight or danger, they shall consider whether any condition, combination of conditions, or less-restrictive alternative to detention would ameliorate such risk; and that the respondents shall not retaliate against Petitioner for the filing of this action. The parties shall file a joint status report by July 8, 2026, notifying the Court of the outcome of the bond hearing. The merits of the habeas petition remain under advisement pending receipt and review of that status report. (SED) (Entered: 06/29/2026)
