MINUTE ORDER: Before the Court are Petitioner's habeas petition, ECF No. 1, and Respondent's response to it, ECF No. 8 . In the response, Respondent states that he is "not submitting a brief in opposition to the Petition." ECF No. 8 at 1. In light of this representation, 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, No. 26-6019, --- F.4th ---, 2026 WL 1876709, *17 (10th Cir. June 30, 2026), the Court GRANTS Petitioner's habeas petition, ECF No. 1. It is ORDERED that Respondent shall release Petitioner from custody immediately, but no later than within 24 hours of this Order, and may not impose any additional conditions of release or supervision beyond those she was subject to immediately prior to her recent detention. Respondent SHALL FILE a status report within TWO DAYS of this Order to certify compliance. Respondent is further ENJOINED AND RESTRAINED from re-detaining Petitioner unless Respondent demonstrates, by clear and convincing evidence at a pre-deprivation bond hearing, that Petitioner is a flight risk or danger to the community such that her physical custody is legally justified. At any such bond hearing, the government shall bear the burden of proof. The Court notes that, while Respondent contends that a bond hearing is the appropriate remedy, see ECF No. 8 at 1, this argument fail to persuade. Compare ECF No. 8 at 1, with Santillan Quiroz, 2026 WL 1876709 819, *17 n.13; see also, e.g., Singh v. Baltazar, 819 F. Supp. 3d 1247, 125051 (D. Colo. 2026). By Judge Charlotte N. Sweeney on 7/15/2026. Text Only Entry (cnsja, ) (Entered: 07/15/2026)
