Noem, No. 3:25-cv-458, 2025 WL 3628480 (W.D. Pa. Dec. 15, 2025) (Haines, J.), vacated as moot, ECF No. 22 (Dec. 17, 2025) (the legal conclusions in Calzado Diaz are unaffected by the mooting of the order due to the individual facts of Mr. Calzado Diaz's case); A.D. v. LEONARD ODDO et al., No. CV 25-460J, 2026 WL 101476, at *1 (W.D. Pa. Jan. 14, 2026). The Government is directed to provide Petitioner with the statutory process required under 8 U.S.C. § 1226, which includes a bond hearing. The Government shall arrange for an individualized bond hearing to be conducted by an immigration judge by February 9, 2026. If Petitioner is not provided with a bond hearing by February 9, 2026, or if the immigration judge declines to conduct a bond hearing based on Hurtado, Respondents shall immediately release Petitioner from custody. The parties shall provide notice to the Court of the outcome of the individualized bond hearing within seven days of the date of the immigration judge's decision. The Court notes an Immigration Judge granted Petitioner's petition for asylum on December 18, 2025. ECF No. 18 -6. The appeal by DHS of the grant of asylum remains pending. With no further action required by the Court at this time, the Clerk of Court shall mark this matter closed. Signed by Judge Stephanie L. Haines on 1/29/2026.
