TEXT ORDER. Respondents concede that Petitioner is detained pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a) under Second Circuit caselaw. See Da Cunha v. Freden, 175 F.4th 61 (2d Cir. 2026); Dkt. 5. As a result, the immigration court has jurisdiction over a bond hearing, pursuant to Da Cunha. Because Petitioner's detention has not become prolonged under Velasco Lopez v. Decker, 978 F.3d 842 (2d Cir. 2020), that case does not require burden-shifting at the bond hearing. Accordingly, Respondents are ordered to provide Petitioner with a bond hearing under the relevant regulations by no later than October 6, 2026. The Clerk of Court shall close this case. SO ORDERED. Issued by Hon. John L. Sinatra, Jr., on 9/22/2026. (KEF)Clerk to follow up. (Entered: 09/22/2026)
