Jorge G.M.: Man held without a bond hearing at Karnes County center in Texas

A man held at Karnes County immigration facility without a bond hearing is challenging his detention in court; a judge has barred his transfer out of the district for now.

Jun 11, 2026Karnes City, TX

A noncitizen detained at Karnes County Immigration Processing Center filed a federal habeas corpus petition challenging his detention without a bond hearing. The petition argues that his detention without a bond hearing violates due process rights afforded to noncitizens who have established a presence in the United States. On June 12, 2026, U.S. District Judge Fred Biery issued an order requiring respondents to file a response within seven days identifying his country of birth, date of entry, statutory basis for removability, previous detention history, and immigration status. The court issued an immediate stay on any transfer of him outside the Western District of Texas judicial district pending further court order, while preserving the government's ability to proceed with removal proceedings. The order references multiple similar cases the court has previously decided regarding detention without bond hearings.
