ORDER Before the Court is Petitioner's #1 Application for Writ of Habeas Corpus. This Court ordered Respondents to address in their Response a factually and legally similar case decided by this Court, Aleman Hernandez v. Baltazar, No. 1:25-cv-3688-SKC-SBP, 2025 WL 3718159, at *1 (D. Colo. Dec. 23, 2025). In much appreciated candor to the Court, Respondents acknowledge that this case is not materially different from Aleman Hernandez. Dkt. 7, p.2. Accordingly, this Court adopts and incorporates its reasoning from Aleman Hernandez in full. Furthermore, because "Respondents have offered no lawful basis for his detention, the Court concludes [Petitioner] is entitled to immediate release." Vargas Cardenas v. Bondi, No. 1:26-cv-01174-SKC, 2026 WL 886340, at *2 (D. Colo. Apr. 1, 2026).Therefore, IT IS ORDERED that Petitioner's #1 Application for Writ of Habeas Corpus is GRANTED.IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that:1. Jose Guadalupe Garcia Ramos is not subject to mandatory detention pursuant to 8 U.S.C. 1225(b)(2), and Respondents are PERMANENTLY ENJOINED from re-detaining him under 8 U.S.C. 1225(b)(2)(A). 2. Respondents shall immediately release Mr. Garcia Ramos from detention without imposing an ankle monitor or any other condition not specifically imposed in writing by an immigration judge. See Batz Barreno v. Baltasar, No. 25-cv-03017-GPG-TPO, 2026 WL 120253, at *2 (D. Colo. Jan. 15, 2026) (concluding use of a GPS ankle monitor constitutes custody for the purposes of habeas corpus and due process); 3. To effectuate the purpose of this Court's Order and to allow Mr. Garcia Ramos to return home, Respondents are also temporarily enjoined from detaining him under 8 U.S.C. 1226 for a period of 14 days from the date of his release; and4. Respondents shall file a status report within FIVE DAYS of Mr. Garcia Ramos' release to certify Respondents' compliance with this Order.SO ORDERED by Judge S. Kato Crews on 4/21/2026.
