A native and citizen of India entered the United States without inspection on January 24, 2024, near Tecate, California. He was initially released on his own recognizance with routine ICE reporting requirements. On July 5, 2026, he was arrested in Turlock, California for driving under the influence of alcohol. On July 22, 2026, he was arrested by ICE during a routine check-in and taken into custody at Golden State Annex Detention Facility in McFarland, California. He filed a habeas corpus petition arguing that his re-detention without a bond hearing violated his Fifth Amendment due process rights. The federal court granted his petition in part, finding that 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a), not § 1225(b)(2)(A), governs his detention and that the government must prove by clear and convincing evidence that he poses a danger to the community or flight risk. The court ordered respondents to provide him with an individualized bond hearing before an immigration judge within 14 days, with him entitled to legal representation and at least 72 hours notice.
