District Judge Leo T. Sorokin: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered. The respondents have conceded that that the issues raised in this habeas petition “are similar to those addressed by this Court” in various other recent cases, and that this petitioner is entitled to “the same result” if “the Court follow[s] its reasoning in” those case, Doc. No. 7 at 1, thereby waiving any arguments opposing this petition that were not presented in the respondents’ briefing in those prior cases. Accordingly, in light of the respondents’ concession, it is hereby ORDERED that the habeas petition (Doc. No. 1) is ALLOWED as follows: 1) the respondents shall release Kelvin Omar Herrera Portillo unless he is provided a bond hearing under 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a) by December 23, 2025; 2) if a bond hearing occurs, the familiar standards identified by the First Circuit in Hernandez-Lara v. Lyons, 10 F.4th 19, 42 (1st Cir. 2021), shall apply; 3) the respondents shall not retaliate against the petitioner in the context of the bond hearing or otherwise for filing this habeas petition; and 4) the respondents shall file a status report no later than December 24, 2025, describing their compliance with this Order.(FGD) (Entered: 12/17/2025)
