September 9, 2026 Opinion or Order Filing 4 ENDORSED ORDER granting Jesus Alberto Rodriguez Rengifo's Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (Doc. #1). The Government concedes the petitioner is entitled to a bond hearing based upon the Eleventh Circuit's opinion in Hernandez Alvarez v. Warden, 175 F.4th 1258 (11th Cir. 2026). The Court orders the Respondents to bring Petitioner before an immigration judge for an individualized bond hearing within ten days of the date of this Order.

If Respondents are unable to ensure Petitioner receives a bond hearing that complies with this Order within ten days, they must release him under reasonable conditions of supervision.
