MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER: Here, Ms. Enriquez Villamarin is the prevailing party in a civil action against the United States. The Court finds that the Government's position "was not substantially justified," since it does not &quo t;and has never had a reasonable basis in statutory text, structure, or history." Id. Ms. Enriquez Villamarin is entitled, therefore, to reasonable fees and costs. She may submit an application for fees and costs pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 504 and 28 U.S.C. § 2412 by January 23, 2026. To the extent Ms. Enriquez Villamarin still seeks a ruling on her claim under the Administrative Procedure Act, she shall so inform the Court by January 9, 2026. The Court will consider the parties' arguments as to Ms. Cornejo Guanuquiza consistent with its prior order. See Dkt. No. 10. For the reasons stated above, Ms. Enriquez Villamarin's Petition is granted. Respondents are ordered to transport Ms. Enriquez Villamarin back to the South ern District of New York no later than tomorrow, December 19, 2025, and immediately upon effectuating her transfer, to release her from custody.
