ORDER
26-CV-798(EK)
ERIC KOMITEE, United States District Judge:
This case was recently transferred to this District.
By 5:00 p.m. on February 25, Respondents are ordered to show
cause why the petition should not be granted for substantially
the same reasons articulated in the Court's recent order in
Sarmiento Guerrero v. Noem, No. 25-5881, 2025 WL 3214787 (Nov.
18, 2025). 	Should Respondents acknowledge that the instant
petition presents no meaningful distinction from Sarmiento
Guerrero, they shall either afford Garcia a bond hearing or
release him — in either case, on or before March 5, absent
further order of this Court. 	Otherwise, Petitioner should serve
his reply, if any, by 5:00 p.m. on March 2.

Division of the United States Attorney's Office for the Eastern
District of New York by electronic mail.
