TEXT ORDE: The Petitioner has filed a Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus arguing that his continued detention by immigration officials without a bond hearing is unlawful. ECF No. 1 . The Government concedes Petitioner has been detained under 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a) but asks the Court to either hold the petition in abeyance, or deny it, because the Petitioner has a scheduled custody redetermination hearing on November 10, 2026. ECF No. 4 . After reviewing the parties' submissions and applicable law, the Court GRANTS the Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus. The Court ORDERS the Government to release Petitioner TODAY (November 3, 2026). The Court MODIFIES its Order, ECF No. 3, only to permit Petitioner's transfer to the Boston ICE Field Office, located in Burlington, Massachusetts. All Petitioner's property is to be RETURNED. The Court Orders the Government to file a status report within 48 hours of Petitioner's November 10, 2026 bond hearing, stating whether he has been granted bond and, if his request for bond was denied, the reason for that denial. So Ordered by District Judge Melissa R. DuBose on 11/3/2026. (Urizandi, Nissheneyra)
