Judge Richard G. Stearns: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered re 10 Response to Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus - 2241 filed by Markwayne Mullin, David Wesling, Todd Blanche, David J. Venturella. The court agrees with the government that Petitioner Cleidimar Estevao Goncalves, a 48-year-old native and citizen of Brazil who entered the United States without inspection in 2023, and has resided in the country since that time, is eligible for a bond hearing. As the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has detained Estevao Goncalves since September 9, 2026 (who voluntarily appeared for a scheduled ICE check-in at the ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations field office in Burlington, Massachusetts), the court directs the government to arrange a bond hearing for her before an Immigration Judge (consistent with the standards outlined in Hernandez-Lara v. Lyons, 10 F.4th 19 (1st Cir. 2021)), as soon as practicable, but in no case later than Friday, September 25, 2026. The court directs the parties to report to the court within 48 hours of a decision from the Immigration Judge in this matter. (MZ) (Entered: 09/21/2026)
