Main Document: Judgment
Jan 06, 2026
TEXT ORDER. Before the Court is Ronald Maldonado's petition for habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2241. (ECF No. 1 ). Upon review, the Court agrees with the Governments response that this case presents the same legal issues considered in Tomas Elias v. Hyde, 25-cv-540-JJM-AEM, and the Court reaches the same result here. Accordingly, the Court GRANTS the Petitioners habeas petition (ECF No. 1 ). The Government is ORDERED to provide him with a bond hearing before an Immigration Judgment pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a) within ten days of the date of this Order. Further, the Court ORDERS the Government to release the Petitioner immediately pending the bond hearing. The Government shall set minimal release conditions that will reasonably assure the Petitioners appearance at the bond hearing. Finally, the Court ORDERS the Government to file a status report within five days of the Petitioners bond hearing, stating whether he has been granted bond and, if his request for bond was denied, the reasons for that denial. So Ordered by District Judge Mary S. McElroy on 1/6/2026. (Potter, Carrie)
