UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
Christian Ernesto AVALOS-SORIANO,
Petitioner,
v.
Jeremy CASEY, et al.,
Respondents.
Case No.: 25-cv-3797-AGS-MMP
ORDER GRANTING HABEAS
PETITION (ECF 1) AND ORDERING
RELEASE
Despite petitioner’s protected Special Immigrant Juvenile classification, he has
remained in immigration detention without a bond hearing. He seeks a writ of habeas
corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 to set him free. Based on the supplemental briefing, the
Court is convinced that habeas relief is required. In light of his Special Immigrant Juvenile
status, petitioner’s continued detention “violates his due process rights.” 	Xol-Mas v.
Francis, No. 26-cv-00025 (AJV), 2026 WL 457005, at *9 (S.D.N.Y. Feb. 18, 2026).
Thus, the habeas petition is GRANTED. Respondents must immediately release
petitioner under a standard order of supervision.
Dated: March 3, 2026
