TEXT ORDER dismissing 2 Motion for TRO Petitioner alleges he is unlawfully detained under 8 U.S.C. § 1225. Petition, Dkt. No. 1, and he seeks release immediate release in his Motion for Temporary Restraining Order/Preliminary Injunction. Dkt. No. 2 "Motion for TRO." Under this Court's recent decisions in Rivera Zumba v. Bondi, No. 25-14626 (KSH), 2025 WL 2753496 (D.N.J. Sept. 26, 2025) (interpreting § 1225(b)(2)), Rivas Rodriguez v. Rokosky, No. 25-17419 (CPO), 2025 WL 3485628 (D.N.J. Dec. 3, 2025) (interpreting § 1225(b)(1)), and other recent decisions in this District interpreting § 1225, the Court holds that Petitioner is subject to detention under § 1226(a). It is ORDERED that, in accordance with 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a), within seven (7) days of the date of entry of this Text Order, Respondents shall provide Petitioner with an individualized bond hearing before an immigration judge who shall assess whether he presents a flight risk or a danger to the community. See 8 C.F.R. 236.1(c)(8),(d)(1). Within three (3) days of that bond hearing, Respondents shall file a written notice of the outcome of that hearing with this Court. If Respondents contend that Petitioner's detention is distinguishable from the cases in this district previously addressing §1225, they shall file an expedited answer within five (5) days of the date of entry of this Text Order, and Petitioner may file a reply within three (3) days of the date of filing of Respondents' expedited answer. The Motion for TRO, Dkt. No. 2, is DISMISSED as moot. Signed by Chief Judge Renee Marie Bumb on 12/19/2025. (Costigan, Roberta) (Entered: 12/19/2025)
