ORDER
AND NOW, this 9th day of January 2026, upon consideration of Petitioner Jorge Luis
Castillo Reyes’ (“Mr. Castillo Reyes” or “Petitioner”) petition for writ of habeas corpus filed
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (“Petition”), (ECF 1), and Respondents’ response in opposition,
(ECF 5), it is hereby ORDERED that, for the reasons set forth in the accompanying Memorandum
Opinion, Mr. Castillo Reyes’ Petition is GRANTED, as follows:
1. Mr. Castillo Reyes is not subject to mandatory detention under 8 U.S.C. §
1225(b)(2), and is, instead, subject to detention, if at all, pursuant to the
discretionary provisions of 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a);
2. Within five days from this Order, Respondent Rose (or the current Director the ICE
Philadelphia Field Office) shall provide Mr. Castillo Reyes with a bond hearing in
accordance with 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a);
3. Should the immigration judge deny bond, Respondent Rose (or the current Director
the ICE Philadelphia Field Office) shall provide Mr. Castillo Reyes the opportunity
to appeal that decision to the BIA.
4. Pending the ordered bond hearing, the Government cannot remove, transfer, or
otherwise facilitate the removal of Mr. Castillo Reyes from the Eastern District of
Pennsylvania (the “District”) before the ordered bond hearing. If the immigration
judge determines that Mr. Castillo Reyes is subject to detention under 8 U.S.C. §
1226(a), the Government may request permission from this Court to move Mr.
Castillo Reyes if unforeseen or emergency circumstances arise that require him to
be removed from the District. Any such request must include an explanation for
the request as well as a proposed destination. This Court will then determine
whether to grant the request and permit the transfer of Mr. Castillo Reyes.
5. The failure to provide a bond hearing within the five days ordered, will result in
Mr. Castillo Reyes immediate release.
6. Mr. Castillo Reyes’ motion to expedite decision on petition for writ of habeas
corpus, (ECF 6), is DENIED, as moot.
The Clerk of Court shall mark this case CLOSED.
