ORDER GRANTING HABEAS RELIEF IN PART. The Court holds that respondents' re-arrest and re-detention of petitioner on August 6, 2026 was implemented under 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a), but even if he is detained under 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b), under eit her statutory framework, the Court declares his due process rights were violated. Respondents shall provide adequate due process to petitioner and hold a post-deprivation hearing within 10 calendar days (if petitioner requests a continuance for good cause, this deadline may be extended) of the date this order is filed. This hearing shall be conducted by an immigration judge where respondents will bear the burden of proving by clear and convincing evidence that petitioner is a flight risk or a danger to the community, and that no alternatives to detention would mitigate those risks. The parties shall file a joint status report on or before October 9, 2026 confirming whether petitioner received a hearing held before an immigration judge as ordered above, and report whether he has been released. Signed by Judge Theresa L Fricke.(MW)
