Nov 03, 2025

MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER signed by the Honorable Matthew F. Kennelly on 11/3/2025: For the reasons stated in the accompanying Memorandum Opinion and Order, the Court grants, in part, Galvis Cortes' amended petition for writ of habeas corpus [dkt. no. 24]. Unless Galvis Cortes notifies the Court in writing by November 5, 2025 that she no longer seeks a bond hearing, respondents must, by November 12, 2025, release Galvis Cortes from electronic monitoring under reasonable conditions of s upervision unless she has, by that date, been provided with a bond hearing before an immigration judge, at which the government shall bear the burden of justifying her continued detention (including by electronic monitoring), by clear and convincing evidence of dangerousness or flight risk. The Court directs the parties to file a status report on or before November 17, 2025 that addresses Galvis Cortes' release status, including when she received a bond hearing, the result of that bond hea ring, and the findings made by the immigration judge. The stay previously entered by the Court initially on June 6, 2025 and then extended on various dates is extended through November 19, 2025. A telephonic status hearing is set for November 19, 2025 at 8:55 AM, using call-in number 650-479-3207, access code 2305-915-8729. (mk)
