CIVIL ACTION NO. 25-7421
ORDER
AND NOW, this 6th day of January 2026, upon consideration of Abdoulaye Diallo’s
Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus [Doc. No. 1], and for the reasons stated in the
accompanying Memorandum Opinion, it is hereby ORDERED that the Petition is GRANTED
as follows:
1. 	Diallo 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. 	The government shall RELEASE Diallo from custody immediately and certify
compliance with the Memorandum Opinion and Order by filing an entry on the
docket no later than 5:00 p.m. ET on January 7, 2026;
3. 	The government is temporarily enjoined from re-detaining Diallo for seven days
following his release from custody;
4. 	If the government chooses to pursue renewed detention of Diallo after that seven-day
period, it must first provide him with a bond hearing, at which a neutral immigration
judge shall determine whether detention is warranted pending the resolution of his
removal proceedings. Pending the ordered bond hearing, the government cannot

remove, transfer, or otherwise facilitate the removal of Diallo from the Eastern
District of Pennsylvania before the ordered bond hearing. If the immigration judge
determines that Diallo is subject to detention under 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a), the
government may request permission from the Court to move Diallo if unforeseen or
emergency circumstances arise that require him to be removed. Any such request
must include an explanation for the request as well as a proposed destination. The
Court will then determine whether to grant the request and permit transfer of Diallo.
It is so ORDERED.
