ORDER
Pending before the Court is Petitioner’s application for a writ of habeas corpus. (ECF No.
1). 	Petitioner is a native and citizen of Mexico who has resided in the United States for
approximately twenty years after entering without inspection. (ECF No. 1, p. 2, ¶¶ 1, 6; ECF No.
7-1, ¶ 4). 	On September 23, 2025, Petitioner was taken into United States Immigration and
Customs Enforcement (“ICE”) custody and has been detained since then. (ECF No. 7-1, ¶¶ 6, 14).
Petitioner contends that he is entitled to a discretionary bond hearing under 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a).
(ECF No. 1). Respondents argue that Petitioner is not entitled to a bond hearing because he is
detained under 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2), which mandates detention for certain aliens without an
opportunity for a bond hearing. (ECF No. 7).
As Respondents concede, the issue presented in this action is identical to the issue the
Court decided in J.A.M. v. Streeval, No. 4:25-cv-342-CDL, 2025 WL 3050094 (M.D. Ga. Nov.
1, 2025). See (ECF No. 7). Based on the Court’s rationale in J.A.M., the Court finds that
Petitioner’s detention is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a). 	The Court thus grants Petitioner’s
petition for a writ of habeas corpus to the extent that the Court orders Respondents to provide

Petitioner with a bond hearing to determine if Petitioner may be released on bond under
§ 1226(a)(2) and the applicable regulations. See 8 C.F.R. §§ 236.1 & 1236.1.
IT IS SO ORDERED, this 2nd day of December, 2025.
