MINUTE ORDER Denying Without Prejudice 1 Petition. On March 9, 2026, Petitioner was detained pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a). (See ECF No. 4 at 3.) On April 9, 2026, Petitioner received a bond hearing, and the Immigration Judge denied bond on grounds that Petitioner "has not met her burden to show that she is not a significant flight risk." (See id. at 2-3.) Petitioner now seeks immediate release from custody or, alternatively, an order from this Court directing Respondents to provide her with another bond hearing. (ECF No. 1 at 22.) Because Petitioner has failed to exhaust her administrative remedies by appealing to the Board of Immigration Appeals and has not raised any lawful basis for waiving exhaustion, the Court DISMISSES WITHOUT PREJUDICE the 1 Petition. See Leonardo v. Crawford, 646 F.3d 1157, 1161 (9th Cir. 2011) (remanding with the instruction to dismiss the petition without prejudice because the petitioner had not exhausted his administrative remedies nor demonstrated grounds for excusing exhaustion). (no document attached) (sxm3) (Entered: 08/13/2026)
