TEXT ORDER: According to Petitioner, Respondents are presently detaining him under the mandatory detention provisions of 8 U.S.C. § 1225 pursuant to the Board of Immigration Appeals' decision in Matter of Yajure Hurtado. (ECF No. 1 pp. 3, 4 ). Under the recent decision in Bethancourt- Soto v. Soto, et al., No. 25-cv-16200, __ F. Supp. 3d __, 2025 WL 2976572 (D.N.J. Oct. 22, 2025), as Petitioner was apprehended inside the United States after residing here for an extended period, this Court finds that he should be detained under 8 U.S.C. § 1226, which requires an opportunity to seek bond. Accordingly, Respondents are PROHIBITED from moving Petitioner outside of the District of New Jersey. It is further ORDERED that the immigration court shall provide Petitioner with a bond hearing no later than 5:00p.m. on December 30, 2025. Respondents shall file a letter on the docket indicating the date and time of the bond hearing by 12:00 p.m. on December 29, 2025. If Respondents contend that Bethancourt-Soto does not control, for example, because it is factually distinguishable, they shall file an expedited answer to the Petition by 5:00 p.m. on December 31, 2025, and Petitioner shall file any reply by 5:00 p.m. on January 5, 2026. So Ordered by Judge Edward S. Kiel on 12/23/2025. (gn ) (Entered: 12/23/2025)
