District Judge Leo T. Sorokin ELECTRONIC ORDER entered: After reviewing the Petition and the response from Respondents, the Court hereby ORDERS the immediate release of Petitioner WITHOUT PREJUDICE to a bond hearing held within seven days before an immigration judge provided that at any such hearing she is not detained pursuant to section 1225, that the bond hearing is pursuant to section 1226, that the burdens of proof are as resolved by the First Circuit in Lara-Hernandez, and that no respondent retaliates against Petitioner for filing this Petition. Respondents shall file a status report no later than January 16, 2026 reporting the status of any further bond proceedings. Any request for fees under the EAJA shall be filed within thirty days. The Court renders this decision in light of the record before the Court, the prior decisions of this Court, the government’s concession that this case is similar to prior cases resolved by this Court and the absence of an appropriate facility to detain women in Massachusetts. Immediate release means that Petitioner shall be released before the end of the business day today January 2, 2026.(MAC) (Entered: 01/02/2026)
