MEMORANDUM Opinion and Order signed by the Honorable Edmond E. Chang. For the reasons stated in the Opinion, the Court grants the habeas petition, R. 1. Because the Court holds that the Petitioner's detention under 8 U.S.C. 1225(b)(2)(A) violate s the Immigration and Nationality Act, the Petitioner is entitled to a bond hearing under 8 U.S.C. 1226(a). See 8 C.F.R. 1003.19, 1236.1(c)(8), (d). The Court thus issues a conditional writ of habeas corpus, directing the Respondent, on or before 01/ 15/2026, either to afford the Petitioner a bond hearing that complies with federal laws and regulations or to release him under reasonable conditions of supervision. See United States ex rel. Owens v. Duncan, 2015 WL 5950124, at *2 (N.D. Ill. Oct. 13 , 2015) (explaining conditional writs of habeas corpus). To track the case only (no appearance is required, the case will not be called), a tracking status hearing is set for 01/23/2026 at 8:30 a.m. The parties shall file a status report on or before 01/20/2026, that addresses the Petitioner's release status, whether he received a bond hearing, and the result of that bond hearing.
