IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEW MEXICO
LAURENT BERTIN EBOUE,
Petitioner,
v. No. 1:26-cv-00890-KG-KK
MARY DE ANDA-YBARRA, et al.,
Respondents.
MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
This matter is before the Court on Petitioner’s Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus, Doc. 1,
and Respondent’s Response, Doc. 8. The Court previously entered a Temporary Restraining Order
(“TRO”) directing Respondent to release Petitioner. Doc. 9. The Government’s Response does not
dispute or materially alter the relevant facts. To the contrary, the Government concedes that the
facts of this case are “substantially similar” to those in Patel v. Noem, 2026 WL 103163 (D.N.M.),
in which this Court granted relief. Doc. 8 at 4.
Accordingly, for the reasons set forth in the Court’s TRO, the Court grants the Petition for a
Writ of Habeas Corpus. The Government is enjoined from redetaining Petitioner absent an
individualized bond hearing consistent with due process.
Respondent shall file a status report within ten (10) days of entry of this Order
demonstrating compliance.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
