ORDER
On March 3, 2026, the Court issued an order granting Yubizay del Carmen
Torrealba Linarez’s petition for writ of habeas corpus, enjoining Respondents from
denying Ms. Linarez a bond hearing on the basis that 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2) applies to
her and further ordering Respondents to provide Ms. Linarez a bond hearing in
accordance with 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a)(2) within fourteen days of the date of that order.
Given Ms. Linarez’s deteriorating medical condition, the Court scheduled a
telephone conference with counsel for later that same afternoon and suggested that
counsel confer and determine whether they can agree to an appropriate medical
treatment plan during Ms. Linarez’s detention or a release plan with appropriate
conditions to assure her appearance at the to be scheduled bond hearing.
At the March 3, 2026 telephone conference, over Respondents’ objection and
acknowledging that Respondents did not waive any legal challenge in opposition to
Ms. Linarez’s petition, the Court removed the fourteen day deadline for Respondents

conditions.
The Court ORDERS Respondents to release Yubizay del Carmen Torrealba
Linarez by no later than 8:00 p.m. on March 3, 2026 and to return any of Ms. Linarez’s
personal property Respondents have in their possession to Ms. Linarez by that same
time.
The Court ORDERS Ms. Linarez to provide Respondents with an appropriate
address for Respondents to contact her regarding her bond hearing and related
removal proceedings. 	The Court further ORDERS Ms. Linarez to attend her bond
hearing when scheduled.
Finally, the Court ENJOINS Respondents from denying Ms. Linarez a bond
hearing on the basis that 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2) applies to her and further ORDERS
Respondents to provide Ms. Linarez a bond hearing in accordance with 8 U.S.C.
§ 1226(a)(2). The Court further ORDERS Respondents to file a status report within
five days of Ms. Linarez’s bond hearing, stating whether Ms. Linarez has been
granted bond, and, if her request was denied, the reasons for that denial.
SO ORDERED.
