ORDER
NINA R. MORRISON, United States District Judge:
This case has been assigned to the undersigned for all purposes.
First, counsel for Respondents shall promptly enter an appearance on
the Electronic Case Filing System to ensure timely receipt and compliance with
all filings and court orders as the case proceeds.
Second, it is hereby ordered that all parties appear for a conference in
Courtroom 6E North on Friday, March 13, 2026 at 11:00AM. 	Respondents shall
coordinate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement to ensure that Petitioner
is produced to the courthouse for the conference, and shall inform the Court’s
deputy if any court orders are necessary in that regard.
Third, Respondents shall submit a letter by Saturday, March 7, 2026 at
3:00PM indicating whether the conference is necessary. 	In the letter, Respondents
should address:

(1) the statutory provision(s) under which Respondents assert the authority to
detain Petitioner;
(2) if the detention authority is asserted under 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b), whether there
is any basis to distinguish the asserted grounds for detention in this case from
this Court’s decision in Hyppolite v. Noem, No. 25-CV-4304 (NRM), 2025 WL
2829511 (E.D.N.Y. Oct. 6, 2025). If there is no basis to distinguish this Petition
from the Court’s analysis in Hyppolite, the submission may take the form of a
letter so stating, and indicating whether Respondents oppose issuance of the
writ, subject to preservation of Respondents’ arguments for appeal;
(3) alternatively, if the detention authority is asserted under 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a),
whether there is any basis to distinguish the asserted grounds for detention in
this case from this Court’s decision in H.A.C.F. v. Francis, No. 26-CV-00872
(NRM), 2026 WL 482607 (E.D.N.Y. Feb. 20, 2026). Specifically, if authority is
asserted under § 1226(a), the submission shall state whether Petitioner was
provided, prior to detention, notice and a bond hearing before a neutral
magistrate, or whether Petitioner was provided any other such process prior
to arrest, and if so, shall provide details as to the nature of said process and, if
available, copies of all relevant documentation relating to the Petitioner’s
arrest and pre-deprivation process. 	If there is no basis to distinguish this
Petition from the Court’s analysis in H.A.C.F., the submission may similarly
take the form of a letter so stating, and indicating whether Respondents have

3
any other grounds to oppose issuance of the writ, subject to preservation of
Respondents’ arguments for appeal; and
(4) information regarding the procedural posture of any pending Department of
Homeland Security or Executive Office for Immigration Review proceedings
concerning this Petitioner.
If Respondents take the position that the outcome of this Petition is materially
distinguishable from a prior decision of this Court, Respondents are further ordered
to show cause in writing no later than Monday, March 9, 2026 at 3:00PM as to why
the Petition should not be granted. 	In their submission, Respondents shall affirm
that they have provided the Court with all facts material to Petitioner’s claims and
Respondents’ opposition to the Petition, and shall attach as exhibits all records
related to those facts. 	Petitioner may reply by Wednesday, March 11, 2026 at
5:00PM. 	The Court will then hear argument on the Petition, if necessary, at the
conference on March 13, 2026 at 11:00AM in Courtroom 6E North.
SO ORDERED.
