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 detained under 8 U.S.C. 1226(a) and is therefore eligible for a bond hearing. Doc. No. 6 . This concession was made on behalf of all respondents in this case and, therefore, is binding on ICE and the Departments of Homeland Security and Justice. In light of the foregoing, the Court construes—and ORDERS the respondents to likewise construe—the pending petition as conveying a request for a bond hearing before an immigration judge. The Court further ORDERS that such a hearing shall be scheduled (if it has not already been scheduled) to occur by Friday, July 24, 2026; that the legal standard governing such hearing is as established by the First Circuit in Hernandez-Lara v. Lyons; that, in assessing whether the government has met its burden of proof as to flight or danger, the immigration judge shall consider whether any condition, combination of conditions, or less-restrictive alternative to detention would ameliorate such risk(s); and that the respondents shall not retaliate against Petitioner for the filing of this action. The parties shall file a joint status report by Thursday, July 30, 2026, notifying the Court of whether a bond hearing has occurred and, if so, its outcome. The merits of the habeas petition remain under advisement pending receipt and review of that status report.(FGD) (Entered: 07/17/2026)
