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 entered the United
States without being admitted in the early 2000s at the age of one and has resided
here ever since. Pet. ¶ 1, ECF No. 1; Graumenz Decl. ¶ 3, ECF No. 5-1. On November
6, 2025, she was taken into United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement
custody and has been detained since then. Graumenz Decl. ¶ 6. Petitioner contends
that she is entitled to a discretionary bond hearing under 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a).
Respondents argue that Petitioner is not entitled to a bond hearing because she is
detained under 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2), which mandates detention for certain aliens,
without an opportunity for a bond hearing.
As Respondents concede, though, 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). 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 25th day of November, 2025.
