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

#12

Jul 09, 2026

Judge Brian E. Murphy: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered GRANTING in part 1 the petition for writ of habeas corpus. It is undisputed that Petitioner was paroled into the United States pursuant to 8 U.S.C. s. 1182(d)(5)(A), and that his humanitarian parole expired in August 2025. See Dkt. 1 para. 2; Dkt. 11 at 2–3; see also Dkt. 1-3. Petitioner argues that because he was arrested in the interior of the United States after his parole expired, he is now detained under 8 U.S.C. s. 1226(a), rather than 8 U.S.C. s. 1225(b). See Dkt. 1 para. 37; see also Dkt. 1 - 8 (Warrant for Arrest of Alien under sections 236 and 287 of the Immigration and Nationality Act). However, this Court has already rejected that argument, see Tenemasa-Lema v. Hyde, 810 F. Supp. 3d 244, 251–52 (D. Mass. 2025), and the Court concludes that Petitioner’s detention is subject to 8 U.S.C. 1225(b). Nonetheless, as Respondents concede, this Court has previously determined that petitioners detained under 8 U.S.C. s. 1225(b) are entitled to a bond hearing. Dkt. 11 at 13–14 (citing Rincon v. Hyde, 810 F. Supp. 3d 101 (D. Mass. 2025)). Accordingly, the Court ORDERS that Petitioner receive a constitutionally adequate bond hearing to consider the merits of his release on or before July 16, 2026. Respondents are further ORDERED to file a status report on or before July 20, 2026, notifying the Court whether Petitioner has been granted bond and released or, if his request for bond was denied, providing the reasons for that denial, and including therewith the decision by the immigration judge.
