Warden, IRWIN COUNTY
DETENTION CENTER, et al.,
Respondents.
ORDER
Petitioner is a detainee at the Irwin County Detention Center awaiting removal
proceedings. 	Petitioner seeks habeas corpus relief based on Respondents' refusal to
provide Petitioner with a bond hearing and the opportunity for pre-removal release
while the removal proceedings are pending. 	Respondents contend that Petitioner's
detention is mandatory under 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(l) and/or 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2).
The Court reviewed Petitioner's application. 	The Court finds that Petitioner is
currently detained under 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a) and therefore not subject to mandatory
detention as required by 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2). See J.A.M. v. Streeval, No. 4:25-CV-342-
CDL, 2025 WL 3050094 (M.D. Ga. Nov. 1, 2025); P.R.S. v. Streeval, No. 4:25-CV-330-
CDL, 2025 WL 3269947 (M.D. Ga. Nov. 24, 2025). Accordingly, Petitioner's application
for 	habeas 	corpus relief is 	granted to 	the 	extent that Respondents 	shall provide

1 The brevity of this order is appropriate given that the issue presentecl is exactly the same as the issue
previously decided on numerous occasions by the Court and yet Respondent insists upon denying the
relief that the Court has found is required.
